you can also conentrate light to a point where it takes on liquid properties  It sounds really awesome, too bad my school doesnt have the equipment to do some experiments with that.
I got a feeling I'll be hanging around waterloo's physics department and playing with their nice toys  |

naa i agree light is a wave and a particle at the same time...
it is also something that limits our capabilities.  |

what I really want to see though is stuff at absolute zero  |

absolute 0 is 0 degrees Kelvin, or -273.15 degrees Celcius. Something like -273 was achieved in lab conditions and absolute 0 is impossible (or so I think...)
anyway, its a theoretical number at which all molecume motions will stop and gas would have 0 volume... 8) |

| I know what it is... but apparently crazy stuff is supposed to happen when it is achieved... I think in one test where they came close, hydrogen moved up hill (this is recalling from grade 11 chemistry... or maybe it was physics this year, dunno... either way it was a while ago) |

| you know how things normally flow down hill because of gravity? apparently at absolute zero it went up hill... like there was no friction at all or something |

| I just did some reading on BEC and it seems rather interesting |
