    No, it's a degree (or one shot short of a bottle) above that. ;)

    Clue 2: but you must explain why it is special after this clue.

    it is the COLDEST place known at about 1 degree above absolute zero.

    The oldest known part of the universe (to us)? Only reason I can think of it being so cold or was so cold since we're seeing back billions of years

    Edit: should read observable to us not known

    you are moving away from the answer so I will let you have the answer I was after, and fritzwelly as you were closest you can take the next question


    the place as I have already said is coldest place in the universe, it is in fact colder than the universe itself. it is that cold that the universe can not compete on coldness. it is thought it can achieve the amazing low temp at 1 degree above 0Kelvin because the star in the centre is sloughing off material in such a way it is producing a fridge effect

    Why didn't you say so!

    Like other cold gas emitting stellar objects, the expanding gases it is giving off operate like a refrigerator and cools it down but this dead star is spewing lots of it. Or something like that.


    Edit; typing while the answer was given. :(

    Sorry but I'm kind of lost - if something is the coldest part of something else, doesn't it go without saying that everything else in that something is warmer?

    I asked for the answer I gave the clues srameen I assumed you could work it out from that.

    Must be depressing being a chicken with everyone questioning you - eggs, why did you cross the road, why cant you fly...and why do you taste so much nicer in KFC?

    And let us not forget the "Why, are you chicken?", a favourite in American films and tv.
