| Yoni | Someone should try something colder than liquid nitrogen. Liquid nitrogen is 70 degrees Kelvin. Liquid helium is less than 4 degrees. Why doesn't someone rich try that? | August 14, 2005, 1:07 PM |
| R.a.B.B.i.T | Because liquid nitrogen is ~$2/gallon, but liquid helium is ~$5/liter. | August 14, 2005, 4:43 PM |

| R.a.B.B.i.T | Yeah, until you look at the electric bill. It takes a lot to keep nitrogen and helium liquid ;\ | August 14, 2005, 9:34 PM |
