505 00 |tThe conquest of cold --|tThe race for absolute zero. 
520    This two-part Nova special brings the history of cold to 
       life with brilliant dramatic recreations of high moments 
       in low-temperature research and the quest for ever-lower 
       notches on the thermometer. "The conquest of cold" opens 
       in the 1600s when the nature of cold and heat was a 
       complete mystery. Were they different aspects of the same 
       phenomenon? The experiments that settled those questions 
       helped stoke the Industrial Revolution. "The race for 
       absolute zero" dramatizes the rivalry between Scottish 
       researcher James Dewar and Dutch physicist Heike Onnes, 
       who plunged cold science to the forbidding realm at which 
       oxygen and then hydrogen turn into liquids. The quest 
       continues today as scientists pioneer super-fast computing
       near absolute zero-- the ultimate chill of -459.67° F, 
       where atoms slow to a virtual standstill.
