Tonight at 8pm (Eastern) is the premier of the NOVA program “Absolute Zero”. This is the first of two one-hour specials talking about the physics and technology of ultra-low temperatures. I haven’t seen nearly enough hype for this on the Internet– actual results aren’t as sexy as wild speculation– but the science here is fascinating, if I do say so myself, and at the very least, they have an impressive list of participants, and a nice Q & A about BEC with Luis Orozco of the University of Maryland (who was at Stony Brook when I was a grad student, but spent part of a sabbatical working in the same lab I did).
Adjust your TV-watching schedule appropriately.
