...from about Part Six on, but even better the further into it you go. The first five parts are kind of fun... the history of cold, of temperature, of the physics of energy... but it starts rocking when it comes to superconductivity and makes my brain go fizzy with glee when it gets to the Bose-Einstein condensate part! OMG! But then! But then you get to go further and contemplate light slowing to the speed of a bicycle as it's shot through this condensate! I'm making oceanic ice cubes to solve the climate crisis as we speak!
