pallidin Posted December 4, 2013 #1 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Physicists from Australia and the United Kingdom have created a new way of measuring matter -- and as a result they now can study the coldest objects in the universe. Raise the temperature just an ice cube above absolute zero -- that’s -273.15 Celsius or -459.67 Fahrenheit, the temperature believed to be the lowest possible -- and ordinary science gets weird. Stuff acts strange, different laws of physics take over and a dilute gas forms into what’s called a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), a cold atomic substance.
