Movie Title: Absolute Zero – NOVA Absolute Zero – NOVA is available for streaming or downloading. |
This documentary was originally created and broadcast by the BBC and then NOVA purchased it for U.S. Public Television. However, NOVA cleave about 14 minutes of footage to include plugs for other NOVA programs. I am hoping this DVD release will establish that time serve.

This program traces the scientific evolution of the search for absolute zero, from the 17th century through today. It is extremely well done. Like many such programs, it takes high notion science (in this case physics) and brings it to the people. There are reenactments, interviews with experts in the field, and historical footage. The rivalries between past scientists, and the repercussions of such, are frankly examined. The creators did a noble job making the topic approachable without condescending to a non-scientist audience. For the first time, I was able to purchase such concepts as the Bose-Einstein Condensate, absolute zero and how lasers can “icy” atoms. I work at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, where Eric Cornell did his Nobel Prize-winning work (at Jilla) . He is featured in the documentary and easily expresses in layman’s terms the ideas and methods his team aged. There is some humor throughout the allotment (including how he forgot to bow to the king while accepting his Nobel Prize!) to lighten the subject matter. Objective recently NIST hosted a lecture with Russell Donnelly, the physicist who helped spearhead this documentary. He worked in chilly temperature physics, and was asked for input to the book “Absolute Zero and the Conquest of Chilly.” When he looked through the book he was dismayed to scrutinize no graphs, or photos or any “science.” But once he started reading, he was amazed at how the author told the tale of the science through the lives of the scientistis. He realized it would beget a big documentary that could advance out to the public – whose aid helps sustain funding for such endeavors. He also spoke about the extensive process of requesting a grant from NSF, working with the BBC and then NOVA to save this together. He showed footage from the documetary itself and I was amazed at the quality. Unfortunately, when NOVA broadcast the reveal in January it went up against the Current Hampshire notable and then the American Idol premier. Yet, it calm managed to map millions of viewers. I am gay they are releasing it on DVD. I would like to rewatch it, and have the ability to rewind clear points that I may have missed.
Overall, I highly recommend this program to everyone. It would be a huge tool for high school science teachers, for fans of Carl Sagan’s “Cosmos,” and of The National Geographic Channel and other such venues.
Having watched this program on TV with fascination, I could not wait long enough to earn the DVD. When it arrived, watching it confirmed my idea that this is one of the most stimulating programs ever. Suitable to gape again, and again, and with a gap, even again!
