“The Avengers can shrink down and go down to the quantum realm. We can’t do that yet. But what we can do is make the quantum realm bigger,” said Dr. Elliott.The CAL instrument works by using lasers and magnetic fields to chill atoms to below a billionth of a degree above absolute zero. That’s colder than the average temperature of the universe, which is 2.726 Kelvin.
The BECs are large enough that they could be visible to the naked eye, but you can’t actually see them this way because if you hit them with light, they break apart in a fraction of a second.
