History of Cold - Absolute Zero

[oublie]

Wasnt sure where to post this but i guess this is where most people will find it the most interesting. Dont know if it's been posted before but its a very interesting documentary on the history of cold.

I would very much like to see this, but apparently it's been moved. Do you have a working link?

Thanks every one :)

Just got done watching the whole series. Very Cool! (please excuse the pun :rolleyes: )

So when do you guys want to start bench marking a Quantum Computer?

LoL I wish Mytek.
I personally love this topic, especially current quantum work with cold. Bose Einstein condensates are amazing. Really mind blowing.
Basically something thats at its lowest possible energy level, well it can't go any lower, so it will ignore most work based functions, like friction, and sometimes even gravity ;)

"Absolute Zero and the Conquest of Cold" by Tom Shachtman is a great read about the same topic for anyone looking for something beyond Nova.

You can also dl from usenet - if your server has at least a 100 day retention period - binsearch.info link for absolute zero (http://binsearch.info/index.php?q=absolute+zero&m=&max=250&adv_g=&adv_age=200&adv_sort=date&minsize=50&maxsize=&font=&postdate=&hideposter=on)
Not sure if the original program is copy protected but since it's available on youtube I'm guessing it's not.

Just click in the "inverse" button to check all of the items and then "create nzb". Use Newsbin to load nzb file and dl.
