I used to know some guys that worked for a universities cryogenics lab.

Hahaha thanks for the chuckle
Water at 3K is hard frozen. Aka ice. It won't flow.
What you mention is helium, and it's called superfluidity. Even then, it's not "against gravity" but similar to capillary forces we observe every day. If you don't believe me, go the bathroom, take a length of toilet paper and dangle it over the toilet, such that it touches the water. Observe.
LOL you guys are really something.
Tempereature=kinetic energy. Particles can't go in reverse. There is no reverse to begin with.
hahaha

This answer, while not completely wrong, ignores that temperature is not defined as motion of molecules. It is, for certain systems, equal to the mean kinetic energy of molecules, but this is an equality, not a definition.
