BBC FOUR on BBC TWO

The Race for Absolute Zero

Documentary charting rival attempts to reach absolute zero, the ultimate
limit of cold, by scientists in London and Leiden. A second race unfolded
100 years later towards the end of the 20th century, as scientists
attempted to produce a Bose Einstein Condensate, a new state of matter
predicted by Einstein. With the winner of each scientific race going on to
win the Nobel Prize for their work, ultra-cold research has proved to be
one of the most competitive fields of modern science.

And most remarkably useful.

So you DO work for the BBC!

May I take this opportunity to point out a news item shown over the
weekend about an hurricane replicator?
Presented as a new invention the thing has been on YouTube over an
year.

I don't remember seeing the post a week ago. The heads up last night I saw
in time to set the recorder. A week might be to early for the EPG in the
recorder as well.

I tell a lie, having gone back and looked for it. How ever that message
was only semi-coherent and referred to a programme that had already been
transmitted.

Well, you appended it to a thread about whether absolute zero was 273
C or -273 C. I imagine most people were like me and had stopped
reading that thread after the first post :-(

So I missed the first episode but did see the second :-)

Cheers, Alastair.

What on earth are you talking about Alastair. You're just making this even
more mixed up. It was my post all along, totally original. I did not put a
zero in front of 273 someone else corrected this then posted it as an
appendage. I do see that it was any less complicated than MCC's announcement
and I'm not getting at him for re posting same info. Also I made the subject
line say: BBC2 Absolute Zero 23.20 - 00.20
I posted it on the Tue, 3 Jun 2008 23:48:34 +0100
