For the sake of this poor, befuddled non-engineer, would one of you worthy gentlemen explain how it is that lasers striking a mass of cesium atoms and compressing them into a ball (in a cesium fountain) has the effect of cooling them to near absolute zero? That seems counter-intuitive to me, but then I have virtually no education in this area.
