What Is the Coolest Gas in the Universe?
What is the coldest air temperature ever recorded on the Earth? Where was this low temperature recorded? The coldest recorded temperature on Earth was -91°C, which _________(51) in Antarctica（南极洲）in 1983.
We encounter an interesting situation when we discuss temperatures in _________ (52). Temperatures in Earth orbit（轨道）actually range from about +120°C to -120°C．The temperature depends upon_________ (53) you are in direct sunlight or shade. Obviously, - 120°C is colder than our body can _________ (54) endure.
The space temperatures just discussed affect only our area of the solar _________ (55). Obviously, it is hotter closer to the Sun and colder as we travel _________ (56) from the Sun. Scientists estimate temperatures at Pluto are about -210°C．How cold is the lowest estimated temperature in the entire universe? Again, it depends upon your _________ (57). We are taught it is supposedly _________ (58) to have a temperature below absolute zero, which is -273°C, at which atoms do not move. Two scientists, Cornell and Wieman, have successfully _________ (59) down a gas to a temperature barely above absolute zero. They won a Nobel Prize in Physics in 2001 for their work—not a discovery, in this case.
Why is the two scientists’ work so important to science?
In the 1920s, Satyendra Nath Bose was studying an interesting _________ (60) about special light particles（微粒）we now call photons（光子）. Bose had trouble _________ (61) other scientists to believe his theory, so he contacted Albert Einstein. Einstein’s calculations helped him theorize that atoms _________ (62) behave as Bose thought —but only at very cold temperatures.
Scientists have also discovered that ultra-cold（超冷）atoms can help them make the world’s atomic clocks even _________ (63) accurate. These clocks are so accurate today they would only lose one second _________ (64) six million years! Such accuracy will help us travel in space because distance is velocity（速度）times time(d = v×t). With the long distances involved in space _________ (65), we need to know time as accurately as possible to get accurate distance.
