A hypothetical what if sort of situation using the full range of Japanime technology. Imagine a Mobile Suit that is able to generate a field, a few meters outward of itself and a few centimeters deep, that stays constantly at absolute zero. Everything that enters this field, as well, instantly drops in temperature to absolute zero. So... what would be the defensive properties of this?
I figure it would make RPGs and flamethrowers useless, but how would a zone of constant absolute zero affect momentum or waves like light and radio? What would happen to everyday objects like concrete or cars that this field passed through?

I was thinking of an anti-RPG/grenade/IED field that would be devoid of oxygen, causing anything in its area to not explode. Absolute zero would be great for pissing everyone off in a city, but how would you generate enough energy to maintain it?

It's fiction, why would you even think about the cost of electricity? >>1
Water molacules would enter the field and solidify into ice, producing an ice barrier around the mech, it wouldn't be able to move and it wouldn't be able to fire.

Ignoring the fact that absolute zero is impossible to reach, absolute zero would FUCK SHIT UP. Anything that entered the field would have all its energy sucked out by whatever is maintaining the absolute zero field. So everything would just drop dead, including the mobile suit, unless you somehow protected it from the field. It wouldn't be able to attack because of the same problem.
Basically, that idea is retarded. You be much better off with just a very low temperature field.

>>4 You're in SPACE. The temperature already IS very low.
Good point. So any idea of a cold field is just retarded.

Absolute Zero is a condition where atoms stop vibrating/moving at all.
Assuming we can reach Absolute Zero, we need "something" to absorb all the enery in an Area, anything that goes into the area will just stop, not even the gravity can make it move. not even radio waves or anything...all particles will just stop.

when particles get close absolute zero, they form into a bose-einstein condensate. assuming your shield didnt just form into a little ball and float away, anything that touched it would heat the shield and cause it to turn into a gas or a solid...mebbe liquid (depending on atom type used) as it is heated. if it was to re-cool back to absolute zero, the new matter would join the condesate
mebbe. it might look like a whole bunch of little black dots floating around the gundam, and when something hits them, they get really big, absorb what hits them, and then shrink back into little black dots. does that classify as looking cool?
