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

@gbernard23 yeah that is the American version it totally cuts out the mention of Frances Bacon and the Scientific method check google videos Part 1 at about 8mins and then check the American remake(your link) at the same time.

To many times History gets rewritten.

[gbernard23]

@elstonieo Really, I didn't know there was any difference. But anyway, I did watch the first part in BBC, so was the documentary originally made by BBC, or it was a joint effort? I couldn't find the second part on BBC unless I download it as file

[elstonieo]

@gbernard23 yeah it was a joint effort m8. They do it on a few programs I used to have the program BBC Horizon Snowball Earth it was a joint venture only difference was a few minor edits and a different narrator.

Can some one tell me how can i buy BBC documentaries. Thanks very much.

Hi ya LaEspriella ive sent u a PM

The subatomic particles, viz ethereal particles from atoms and molecules maintain themselves the them inertial and eternal motion, thus the absolute zero is a thermic point of which we can approach, but we can not reach.This is the natural situation of the matter seen and unseen.We can not stop the inertial and internal motion from chemical matter or from ethereal mater. If it stop this motion, then can exist not the gravity and the actual celestial motion with the her order.

In the case of the superconductivity, the electrons it move not among atoms, but it move among atoms the thermic photons = the photons of the thermic radiations, which are eliminate from one body when it reduce the temperature towards zero degrees Kelvin. And in this state the motion of the electrons of conduction can ensure an uniform magnetic field in the conductor's round through which let circulate the electrical current= the particles of the electrical ether.

Although is not possible to reach the absolute zero, the investigating men had approached this zone of low temperature, and they had seen that the matter it present with new state: of superconductivity, of superfluidity, the state Bose-Einstein condensate or Meissner effect. At the state of superfluidity the liquid respect not the equilibrium at horizontal line, and at the state of superconductivity the electrical resistance it diminish near at zero.

• SandustanBrasov

Through the notion of temperature we understand how much is warm or is cold a body. And we ubderstand how of rapid oscillate the atoms or the moleculesat that one body. The absolute zero is only a theoretical notion which can not be obtained because the internal inertial motion, from matter, can not be stoped. This stoping of this motion mean the stoping the gravitational interaction which is identically - an impossible thing.

The heat is produced by the fight between the inductive magnetic field with the induced magnetic field; fields to whose particles it collide and it combine as some electrical contrary radiations. Thus the source of heat had entered directly in the metallic piece fot heating and it transform continuously in the heat and the light of the metallic bar, to whose temperature arrive in few seconds at 1000 degrees Celsius. Thus it consume electrical ether and not electrons.

Let's see how it produce thermic photons or heat in a industrial installation for heating metals. The installation it compose from rectifier,inverter and zone of load. Among them being disposed equipment of cooling, of command and control.The inverter transform power of continuous current in power of average frequency at 8000 Hz.The part named zone of load is formed from battery of condensers and from inductive coils and through the them interior pass bars of metal for heating
