This talk will give a brief overview of statistical mechanics, its deep connection to thermodynamics, and its applications. We'll develop just enough machinery to understand the concept of temperature, how certain systems can exhibit temperatures below absolute zero, why below absolute zero is above positive infinite temperatures, and what this physically means.
