...nadir of cold called Absolute Zero exists not as a reality of nature but as a textbook definition, as a goal which haunts the minds of low-temperature researchers and which they do not expect to attain. Cold is the absence of heat. Heat is molecular activity. Thus Absolute Zero is the point at which the molecules that compose matter would lie like heaps of corpses in rigid juxtaposition. Physicists locate Absolute Zero at -273.13° Centigrade...
...technique of approach is a complicated cycle of cooling, compression, magnetization, demagnetization. Liquid air cools compressed hydrogen until it liquefies, the liquid hydrogen cools com- pressed helium until it too liquefies. The last stage depends on the fact that magnetization heats matter, demagnetization chills it. The substance is powerfully magnetized and the heat generated drawn off; then a step farther down the scale of cold is obtained by demagnetization, and the cycle is repeated. The temperature is read by a system, of delicate balances, using the principle (discovered in the Curie laboratories of Paris) that the magnetic force...
...Crimson yearlings started the fireworks before the game was three minutes old, and did not turn off the heat until the final bell rang...
...wreckage, Uiver hit the ground at full flying speed, switches on, throttles open, stabilizer set for cruising, landing gear retracted. The gasoline fire which consumed most of the plane destroyed most of the evidence. But tools and other metal parts untouched by the flames showed marks of extreme local heat and partial melting. And the bodies of six victims found outside the machine, likewise untouched by flames, showed typical electrical burns on all parts in contact with the plane's metallic chairs. Said KLM's report: "The experts came to the conclusion that the machine had been struck...
...that Mrs. Roosevelt, who has made frequent visits to Reedsville, took a look at the little square cabins and decided they were not good enough for her pet project. A more reasonable explanation is that the houses, of the summer camp variety with only $15 wood-burning stoves for heat, were obviously unsuited to the region's sub-zero winters. Whatever the reason, ten architects and draftsmen were brought from New York and under their direction workmen began to rip up the completed houses, dig cellars, add new wings, sunrooms, dining alcoves, fireplaces, porches. Thereafter two sectors...
