The Completely Bizarre Physics At Near Absolute Zero
When we cool matter down to the coldest possible temperature, as close to absolute zero as we can, some incredibly strange quantum effects start to become apparent. Let's learn about what a superconductor, a superfluid, and a Bose-Einstein condensate is.

Crazy to think, that “hot” can reach up to trillions of degrees, yet, we comparatively live so close to absolute zero
And makes you wonder if things like dark matter / energy "play" on the other side of that 0 K physical molecule limit going in the opposite direction....
What if there are enormous loops of complex plasma currents that could link in even more complex ways that conspire to make life forms that live in the sun. They look out and think we live so close to trillions of degrees but the universe is so bitterly cold.
There are women that are so hot that they live far closer to the higher temps than the lower ones.
@@carpballet the hot ones are the coldest
It's mindblowing.
1 hour old McDonald's French fries are the only materials that can achieve absolute zero.
True.
If only you saw this video sooner you’d of been the top comment.

I work in Superconductivity. Very interesting stuff. On accident (electrical error), one of our devices managed to cool a magnet down to 2.3K (we usually keep it around 4.2K), and that's the coldest I've ever (accidentally) made something. So I find this very interesting and fun when someone puts something like Superconductivity (electron locking) in a way that simplifies and "humanizes" the science. Thank you.
Im curious. How do we measure temperatures this low? How did they do it in the 1800's?
Measure is an imagined pattern of typically numerics, set and standard intervals, like inches. You come up with a random unit change and make it so. Each time it moves x or y in a change of temp, like mercury or eater in a glass puppet, we can start formulating things like densities and more. It all kind of happens at once. Pressure and other things involved. Typically the common human interval. Fahrenheit is 212 not hundred because Celsius was used to standing when 0 below hits things are frozen, to better communicate a relation of cold to freezing... refinement of the totality of measurement. Which means all current data is changed over... there 16 century temperature measures of areas for record keeping. As more things in reality were figured out the more most people had better lives, but specific cults hate knowledge and its join or die methodology. Envy jealous who knows... not cool. Even today science verse religion, weird nonsense, whilst your assets and means to shelter and education are attacked and all data is stolen from very cruel groups of humans.. so how it's quite simple. Make up an interval and use it as a standard.. use deduction after you calculate coefficient rates at various states and make predictions of absolute zero. Then find ways to get there and beyond. Measure is based on earth atmosphere. Eventually will have a new temperature model on a universal vacuum and a new standard thst better relates materials and function for temp. But what so I know. Barometer is also great for weather prediction, ie pressure systems. These are old, temp is in many systems.
@@NorthernMike Lots and lots of thermometers sellotaped together to make one big quantum thermometer. In the 1800s, they just dumped convicts or free thinking women into the cryogen and record how long it took them to stop screaming. The first mental patient to die in this way was called Batholomeo O' Kelvin (hence the name , 0 Kelvin). The whole experiment was initially to treat melancholia in men and to freeze the part of a womans stomach which they believed wanted the right to vote.
What would happen if someone touched the forbidden magnet?
@@artemirrlazaris7406 I didn't take any information away from that. Your "science vs religion" makes me believe that you're a conspiracy theorist.
If you think that temperatures can get to millions of Kelvin but we live in 271, you realize that life as we know it requires extreme cold to survive.
But fire just needs under a 1000K
so fire also needs cold haha. in millions of kelvins its just something else@@fieryfirevivin
well yeah, you kinda need solid matter for life and at those temperatures everything is a plasma
Do you live in constant winter? Our body temperature is 310K.
The average temperature of the universe is actually very close to absolute zero so relatively we are still pretty hot
This is the first time I've been able to follow a physics presentation at this level without switching off, falling asleep or getting totally lost! The pace, language and well-ordered structure of this presentation is perfectly delivered by a very clear-minded, thoughtful and eloquent lady. I'll be back. Thank you so much.
Agreed. She reminds me of April from Parks and Rec who is off my favorite TV characters so that made it even better
physicists need a translator. They use words that in their world mean something else. Like "infinite" and "singularity".
Subbed. Looks like a former magic teacher turned into a science teacher in the modern era. Feels like she's hiding an enchantment desk somewhere in her room

Great work. Only realized it was a small channel midway through the video. Great story telling, thumbnail and context, keep it up! You are going far!
I really enjoyed that and felt it completely valid and easy to understand / visualize. Great video!! Subscription added immediately.
A very high quality video in terms of supporting text with proper visual representation. Content is presented at both comfortable speed and amount - not too little, not too much. Congratulations! Well done!
Ty. I was going to say the same but now I don't have to.😂
@@ThomasBarone Me Too!
Completely agree, very well put.
It's a bunch of made up nonsense... it's really all about the lipstick though, or maybe not, depending on the cat.

What I love so much about this video is that it has given me more questions to ask, when I went in without expecting an answer. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but I wish there was more about the special relativity related to the changes in reference frame as light interacts with different substances. However I completely understand it being outside the scope of this video, and also trying to keep it fairly simple for those looking for a more straight forward answer.
seen many popular science videos over the years, Veritassium, SciShow etc, but this is one of the best. Thank you
Agreed
Definitely and those channels have teams of people, bluedotdweller does these by herself.
As always as pleasure to watch/listen. Thanks a lot for this video and please keep on the good work.
Fascinating video. Learned a couple new things! Thanks so much. So glad you popped up in my feed. Got yourself a new subscriber.
Me too.
I knew a lot of what was in this video already, but even watching those parts was entertaining because of the extremely high-quality visual representations of what you're discussing. And what I didn't know already in the video was absolutely fascinating, and gave me even more things to look up. Thank you for the obvious effort you put into making the video. It paid off big time.
Super interesting stuff! I was blown away they stopped light in the b.e condensate. Science rocks!
This is one of the presentation I have seen about topics that are absolutely new to me. Thanks for doing such a good job.
i wont pretend to have a deep understanding of most of the ideas in this video but i appreciate how you presented indredibly esoteric ideas in a way that made them digestible for me at least while watching this video. you really helped me wrap my head around some concepts that i wouldnt have been able to understand without the logical way you expressed them. thank you for this it really made my day!
Awesome video! Another interesting topic along the same lines is the strange chemistry and physics at extremely high pressures! They have been doing experiments on this at the University of Rochester in New York and it is quite fascinating. If I remember correctly metals become translucent and elements like Hydrogen and Helium do the opposite and become metallic. And form exotic crystals and atomic structures as well.
Superfluids blew my mind as a kid and they still feel mysterious and magical today. I would love to see this effect with my own eyes. Thanks for the video.
I agree, I have a phd in physics and I still don't understand them properly.
Thank you for the care you put in these wonderful videos. I will never understand quantum physics, but you helped me grasp some notions. You are awesome!
Wow, that is a lot of on-the-edge physics, explained very clearly in a nutshell. Thank you! i had the fortune to be able to work at Eindhoven University for almost a year in the low temperatures department, which was very special and made me acquainted with liquid He and He4, to temperatures around 4 Kelvin and down to milliKelvins. Never got my hands actually on superconductivity or Bose-Einstein though.
This video indirectly answered a burning question I've had for YEARS: "Just how tf does a quantum computer work mechanically?" I was kinda picturing firing lasers at crystals and collected by a spherical mirror, like a super advanced DVD player. 😂 I guess literally seeing the laser (half right, there's still lasers involved) pass through the particle with THAT MUCH latency kinda did the trick for me. 😂
I really like the soothing atmosphere of your videos. Listening to you talking about physics while having ambient music in the back really helps calm my thoughts and relax. Please keep your channel this way 😁
I loved that you explained this in terms that even a layperson could understand the concepts without knowing all of the mathematics behind them! You gift us with your knowledge and communications excellence! Many thanks!
Very edutaining. I like your presentation style. Looking forward to more of your videos.
Hi. New subscriber here. Great content! I can't wait to see more! Until then I guess I'll have to just watch all your older vids! Cheers!
THANK YOU! You have explained absolute zero AND superfluidity in a way that a layman such as me can understand. LIKED & SUBSCRIBED
I have people all the time explain absolutely zero to me. She on the other hand explains absolute zero absolutely well. Interesting for sure.
Yayy. New subscriber and love the vid! Also 10/10 for use of "tiny little balls". 12:53
Great presentation! You clearly explained quantum related phenomena without using unnecessay nomenclature / acronyms. Many science presenters do not do that. Keep up the good work!
Great and informative video. Got me hooked instantly.
Actually, I learned of the existence of this channel today and didn't spend too long at all, of my time on this blue dot of ours, dwelling on whether to subscribe or not. 😉 - Many of the things you were talking about, I already knew, and then some of it I didn't. However, I have always had to try to piece things together myself from several peoples sporadic explanations. I don't think I have ever heard these, very close to inexplicable things, explained with such an overall contextual coherence. 👍
Very lucid and clear descriptions of exceptionally difficult, weird and mind blowing concepts. Thank you
So glad the algorithm brought me to this great new channel to binge watch 😁❤️ Amazing work
I knew it would be good but this was super interesting. It’s like we can feel the possibilities. The speed of a quantum computer but the openness of a classical computer. True light encryption but full light computing, information are right there. There could be a new periodic table with different states of exotic matter. But this video wouldn’t be as much fun without the blue dot dweller as the lead. Thank you for your hard work. 🌏 ✨
6:45 Watching air boil is such a bizzare concept. It looks cool though (no pun intended).
Best visual in the piece, which says a lot
I’m new to the channel and was struck by how well and concisely you explained the subject, time to check out your other vids...
That was an awesome video, and I'm going to subscribe because I crave knowledge, and am strangely fascinated by your delivery and wit. I look forward to watching more of your content.

Thank u for explaining complex stuff so beautifully. Nice one! Thank you!
Great quote: "And that's Quantum Mechanics for you." So true. So true.
You mean "so true?". That's quantum mechanics for you.
QM classicalized in 2010. Juliana Mortenson website Forgotten Physics uncovers the hidden variables and constants and the bad math of Wien, Schrodinger, Heisenberg, Einstein, Debroglie,Planck,Bohr etc.
That explains a lot about your science and you for being OK with that. The Universe is electric.

I watch this on my TV as well. Future is now, old man.
Thanks for a great narration of the story of temperature and underlying physics
Amazing presentation. Thank you much and keep on the good work.
The question is, at what size, speed, or energy (i know, energy, speed and temperature are almost interchangeable) does a hypothetical quantum object cease to behave like a quantum object and start acting like a macro object who's properties can be accurately described using General Relativity!?! There has to be a point of delineation, right!?! But, if there is, why can't physicists develop computer simulations where they incremently raise the mass, energy, etc of the object and keep raising it from quantum, micro, to macro and mark where the actual "switch" occurs? And, if not in simulations, could they not do this experiment practically?
Researchers, led by Oriol Romero-Isart from the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) and the Department of Theoretical Physics at the University of Innsbruck, proposed an experiment a few weeks ago. Its hard to do.
I think there's no clear line because we're always under the influence of quantum systems. It's just that with very few particles the quantum weirdness becomes significant. The same goes for relativity and high velocities. We're still subject to the effects of relativity at low speeds, but it's just less significant.
whose*
A theory based on my small knowledge of physics is that matter does not exist at zero temperature. Einstein's said mass increases at the speed of infinity. If there is no movement at zero temperature, maybe there is no matter. It's just a theory I've had since being a teenager 60 years ago.
@@fellon8019I believe the absolute zero cannot be possible because its the temperature of nothing. I think its impossible to simulate nothing in this world made of something ( known particles). But I feel there are paths that lead to nothing. I think even light stops moving there( Black holes, maybe even dark energy).
New Sub, The way to disperse complicated information is quite calming. You seem to be careful not to allow the viewer to get lost in the minutia or try and prove your in depth knowledge on the subject matter. You simply say 'well that's Quantum Mechanics for ya" Which, should the viewer wants to know more they are free to investigate further. At this point I usually say "Big Brain Make Little Brain Hurt", but you were as I said, careful. It's appreciated, not all videos on KZhead are useless mind dribble.
Little brain makes WAY more money

Thank you for a very informative video. I'd tried to understand the condensate 'model' in layman's terms; this is best explanation I've seen and it 'kinda' makes more sense now. I know the holy grail is to discover inexpensive, organic materials that are super-conductive at room temperature, but I'm skeptical this is possible now. Thanks again.
You can never fully remove energy from a system...unless you remove the system itself. Absolute zero doesn't exist...
Can get close though

*MY MOTHER* used to work with liquid nitrogen at Leeds University - it was a nightmare as it would literally run through the solid ladle and drop on the floor cracking the tiles. It would climb up the sides of the receptacle. She hated the stuff.

Im a database engineer for dept of corrections and I find this video incredibly fascinating!! Deep space makes my head implode but i could watch video on it for days on end. Incredible what makes our world!!! How were people in the 1600s through 1800s able to cool these gases down so low? What device did they use how is that possible?
This was an excellent video - by far the best one I've seen on this subject, and significantly better than similar videos from large content creators (although admittedly I'm a lay person, so I can't assess factuality). The view count is well deserved. :)
