The "vacuum energy" is a specific example of ZPE [zero point energy] which has generated considerable doubt and confusion. In a completely empty flat universe, calculations of the vacuum energy yield infinite values of both positive and negative sign-something that obviously does not correspond to the nature of the real world.  2, record 1, English, - vacuum%20energy

A temperature scale can be defined theoretically for which zero degree corresponds to zero average kinetic energy... Such a point is called absolute zero, and such a scale is known as an absolute temperature scale. The Kelvin temperature scale is an absolute scale having degrees the same size as those of the Celsius temperature scale; the Rankine temperature scale is an absolute scale having degrees the same size as those of the Fahrenheit temperature scale.  7, record 2, English, - Kelvin%20temperature%20scale

Échelle de température absolue définie en affectant conventionnellement au point triple de l'eau la valeur 273,16 °K; les points de fusion de la glace et d'ébullition de l'eau à la pression atmosphérique normale différant de 100 °K.  4, record 2, French, - %C3%A9chelle%20Kelvin

L'échelle Kelvin fut inventée par le mathématicien et physicien britannique Sir William Thomson Kelvin au XIXe siècle. Cette échelle de température absolue utilise les degrés Celsius, mais qui commence au zéro absolu, soit environ -273 °C. Dans cette échelle, la température de fusion de la glace est 273°K. Le Kelvin (K) est l'unité SI de température. Il mesure la température absolue, grandeur définie par la thermodynamique.  5, record 2, French, - %C3%A9chelle%20Kelvin
