The Large Hadron Collider possesses a temperature of minus 271 in Celsius which is 1.9 degrees above practical zero. It is colder than the average temperature of the universe. The cause of this low temperature is the need to create the working environment required by the LHC, such as retaining the superconducting state of the magnets utilized for the steering of the proton beams. Such an extreme temperature is artificially created and a place this cold would not exist in the universe without a technological civilization like ours.
