When I run, I think about everything: physics, family problems, plans for the weekend. I haven't made any big discoveries on a run, but it does give me time to think through problems. Some solutions are obvious, but they are only obvious when you are relaxed enough to find them. Wolfgang Ketterle

Zero kelvin is the lowest possible temperature. At absolute zero, all motion comes to a standstill. It is obvious that a lower temperature is not feasible because there is no velocity smaller than zero and no energy content less than nothing. Wolfgang Ketterle
Energy Nothing Possible Temperature Feasible Absolute Smaller Velocity Obvious Content Because Motion Than Lower Lowest Less Standstill Zero
I think both running and science reflect certain character traits. I have endurance, patience, and ambition. I'm willing to work hard toward a goal, to push myself and overcome limits. Running and science both let me express these traits. Wolfgang Ketterle

Explorations into chemistry were done in our basement, sometimes with friends, and my parents must have had quite a bit of confidence in my abilities when they allowed me to experiment with explosive mixtures. Wolfgang Ketterle

Imagine how many aspects of nature we would miss if we lived on the surface of the sun. Without inventing refrigerators, we would only know gaseous matter and never observe liquids or solids, and miss the beauty of snowflakes. Wolfgang Ketterle
Nature Matter Beauty Sun Would Inventing Only Never Observe Miss Know Without How Surface Liquid Aspects Many Lived Imagine
Laser cooling opened a new route to ultralow temperature physics. Laser cooling experiments, with room temperature vacuum chambers and easy optical access, look very different from cryogenic cells with multi-layer thermal shielding around them. Wolfgang Ketterle
Physics Easy Temperature Opened New Look Around Access Optical Very Cells Different Experiments Room Them Cooling Thermal Route Chambers Laser Vacuum
When air is hot, the molecules move fast and they have high kinetic energy. The colder the molecules are, the smaller their velocities are and, subsequently, their energy. Temperature is simply a way to characterize the energy of a system. Wolfgang Ketterle
Energy Colder Air Way System Characterize High Temperature Kinetic Simply Smaller Hot Subsequently Move Molecules Fast
