Yesterday we had a Nobel prize winning scientist guy from NIST (National Institute for Standards and Technology, I think) come and give a little speech at our school. It was really fun! He talked about atomic clocks and the need to slow down atoms by making them really really cold.

As a demonstration of just how cold, he brought along a whole lot of liquid nitrogen for the talk. He poured it on the ground, poured it over his hand, stuck 10 balloons into a container that looked like it could only fit one, shattered a rubber ball and a banana, and so on. It was lots of fun!

Beaver really needs to get a lifelong supply of that stuff. Imagine how perfect it would be in the cafeteria when you need to cool down your drink really quickly! ;-)

Gotta go to school now. Adios!
