Resumen de Absolutely freezing
Absolute zero is the ultimate in cool, an ideal, unattainably perfect state of coldness. Even so, since the concept first emerged in the mid-19th century, many careers have been devoted to getting ever closer to it. What might seem a quixotic quest--noble, but pointless--is in fact far from it. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the first of many physics Nobel prizes awarded on the back of it. Each advance towards absolute zero has uncovered new states of unparalleled beauty and order, led to engineering marvels and enhanced our insights into basic science--not least about notions of temperature and matter itself. Here, Podesta talks about how the never-ending mission to reach the coldest possible temperature has exposed a world of scientific marvels.
