Supercooled sodium gas
« on: August 11, 2009, 07:02:08 PM »
I came across this post http://www.jupiterscientific.org/sciinfo/slowlight.html, you probably have read it, and whether it is feasible or not, I am unable to figure out how there can be supercooled atoms of sodium in a gaseous state. Is there a law that explains this?

at super cool states like that the atoms become bosons and are able to crowd onto the same state which is usually impossible and in its bosonic state what happens to one atom happens to them all
