temperature of space

Posted by marcus4767 on February 14, 2004 at 01:43:46:

I was wondering why we have to assume that space has the same temperature everywhere, -273 Kelvin. That's not very cold compared to how hot it gets inside stars, 100,000,000
degrees Kelvin. It should be possible that somewhere in the Universe temperatures can get equally cold as hot - that is, down to minus millions of degrees Kelvin.
And is radioactivity merely a phenomenon of extra dimensions or strings?
