A recent article in the newspaper (watered down for the general public
of course) described a liquid helium experiment on the next shuttle flight.
The experiment involves testing some quantum mechanical properties of
superfluids in 0 gravity.
Does anyone know what the experiment is *really* about?
Who designed it, how does it work, what is it testing ...
Just curious.  Thanks.
