( October 21,
2012, London, Sri Lanka Guardian) This two-part scientific detective tale tells
the story of a remarkable group of pioneers who wanted to reach the ultimate
extreme: absolute zero, a place so cold that the physical world as we know it
doesn’t exist, electricity flows without resistance, fluids defy gravity and
the speed of light can be reduced to 38 miles per hour.
Each film
features a strange cast of eccentric characters, including: Clarence Birds Eye;
Frederic ‘Ice King’ Tudor, who founded an empire harvesting ice; and James
Dewar, who almost drove himself crazy by trying to liquefy hydrogen.
Absolute zero
became the Holy Grail of temperature physicists and is considered the gateway
to many new technologies, such as nano-construction, neurological networks and
quantum computing. The possibilities, it seems, are limitless.
The bizarre
story of how one court magician’s use of alchemy made a King shiver. Could the
future become a strange quantum world as physicists get within a few millionths
of a degree of this absolute zero?
