I think we need a large cryostat to empirically determine this transition temperature into the “dead vermin” regime. And we also need to know what properties this “dead vermin” regime has. What is its entropy? Specific heat capacity? Elastic constants, conductivity, etc… Do all of these properties diverge at the transition temperature, Tvermin, as well as the squirrel velocity?

The one problem I see with this experiment is the fact that we can only pass through the transition temperature from one direction, and we can’t reproduce the same results from the same sample….unless these squirrels really do violate some laws of physics…now that would be cool!
