Dr Helen Czerski goes on a spectacular journey to the extremes of the temperature scale, where everyday laws of physics break down and a new world of scientific possibility begins.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Everything around us \u2013 from the tiniest insect on Earth to the most distant stars of the cosmos \u2013 exists somewhere on a vast scale from cold to hot. In this series, physicist Dr Helen Czerski<\/a> explores the extraordinary science of temperature. She unlocks the extremes of the temperature scale, from absolute zero to searing heat of stars \u2013 and reveals how temperature works, how deep its influence on our lives is, and why it\u2019s the hidden force that has shaped our planet and the entire universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
