This he cooled to about -306.4° F., when he began wrenching the molecules with a huge magnet which University of California owns. Liquid helium absorbed and withdrew the magnetically generated heat. At -459.1° Professor Giauque was stopped, regretting that he could not stride the stupendously difficult little step of .3° which would carry him to Absolute Zero where substances should retain no more heat, where molecular activity should completely cease. where all things should be coldly inert...
