Philosophy Wire: Cooling to absolute zero. Motionless. Alive!

Physicists at the University of Basel have succeeded in cooling a nanoelectronic chip to a temperature lower than 3 millikelvin. The scientists from the Department of Physics and the Swiss Nanoscience Institute set this record in collaboration with colleagues from Germany and Finland. They used magnetic cooling to cool the electrical connections as well as the chip itself. The results were published in the journal Applied Physics Letters. [1] We try to reach the point where no motion is detectable. In order to explore interesting phenomena. Because the cosmos starts moving when no movement is possible. The universe starts breathing when the absolute cold and void has spread everywhere. It is there, in the absolute darkness, that the light is born. Look again! What are those screams? What is that light? Hello you beautiful baby! Welcome!
