Absolute zero

Absolute zero

(Science: chemistry, physics) this is the lowest possible temperature (0 kelvin, -273.15 degrees celsius, -459.67 degrees Fahrenheit). at this temperature, all molecular motion stops. (cryogenics) the lowest temperature theoretically attainable (at which the kinetic energy of atoms and molecules is minimal); 0 kelvin or -273.15 centigrade or -459.67 Fahrenheit.Thought to be the coldest possible temperature that any substance can exist at, -273 degrees celsius. At this temperature atoms contain no heat Energy.

mean fitness calculations

I have been given a problem where I need to calculate mean fitness. But the only figures I have are of absolute and relative fitness. I have not been given the genotype frequencies so how can I calculate the mean fitness fromjust the absolute and relative fitness values?

Re:

... that Biology is not a science is only an argument based on a lack of concise definition in some parts, not because it is undefinable and is not absolute. EDIT I think what you are trying to say is that life is based on the laws of chemistry and physics therefore it is not a real science.

Any SOLID arguments against evolution?

... atoms, nitrogen to three, and carbon to four. These numbers all have to do with the number of valence electrons each atom has, and they put an absolute limit on the number of different ways a molecule can be arranged.

Natural selection is proven wrong

... but that still doesn't mean he doesn't have a pretty good idea of what's causing the trouble. Similarly, almost nothing in science is known with absolute certainty, and that's why there's always a healthy degree of conjecture and debate going on. But that doesn't mean that scientists are engaged ...
