Why is it always some weird, out of the way atom they play with
instead of a main-line, every day used sort of critter?

Krypton. . . Cesium . . . What ever. Why not Oxygen? Carbon?
Even good ol Iron??

Another thing, as it was explained to me, first the electrons are
ghosts to begin with which pop in and out of existence at a whim.
Second, if I had the nucleus of an atom in my hand, and it was the
size of a medium orange, the closest electron would be some where
around 38 miles away. . . `Lots of "Nothing" in between. So, when you
get down to 0 Kelvin, that's where all the shaking around stops, well,
it slows down enough to stop the harmonic vibration, but it also seems
to me that the electrons quit popping in and out of existence then
too. Hence the lack of unbalanced vibration of the missing, counter
balancing electrons. (Much like missing a tire weight at 70 mph on
the freeway or so I would believe.) SO if everything settles down at
0 "K" and starts working properly, why is it so damn hard to achieve?
It seems to me that everything would try to achieve the balancing
point, . . Equilibrium; Being that matter abhors a vacuum to begin
with. There has GOT to be an antagonist stirring the pot somewhere
from behind the scenes!! . . . Gravity?

Name a place in the universe where the Cesium atom transitions at a

reference frame, provide the underlying physics to explain it, and
then prove it.

Name me one instance where anyone has achieved taking a cesium atom to
absolute zero ...

No one has ever stuck a themometer in the sun either but we have a
pretty good idea what it would read if we did.

We have absolutely no reason to expect the Cesium atom to act any
differently in another reference frame, and variety of reasons not to
expect to be able to chill it to 0 degrees Kelvin.
