Time as Temperature

Recently came accross a post from Bob Aldrich (shown below) that spurred
a few ideas I had been playing with a few years ago...

If time was a perception of motion through time/space then time should
be affected by cold or heat. The higher the energy level and more
intense the
'heat' the faster particles move, the cooler the temperature the lower
the
state of energy.

Everyone probably recalls the simple high school experiment where the
rose
is dipped in nitrogen, freezes solid and becomes so brittle that a tap
of the
finger shatters it?

I heard a long time ago that we can only build cooling kilns that get
down to,
what is it again...? 4 degrees kelvin? If I'm way off please someone
correct me....
Anyhow consider this.... what happens to matter when it is cooled to far
below
0 degrees Kelvin....? I mean at some point, I think its around 4
degrees matter seemingly
just evaporates right? So what if you took an object and super cooled
it to say
- 500 degrees Kelvin? And you froze it immediately? What would happen
to it?
At some point I would think that as it cooled, the particles moving
slower and slower
would eventually stop...but then what? Once they've stopped and you
KEEP turning
the temperature down and down and down.... would they invert? Would
they at some point
move with negative motion? Negative time? Would they be displaced from
this space/time
and poked into an inverted space/time?
