And under certain conditions it won't, like when it's under enough pressure (takes a lot, and I am talking non-nuclear sources of heat)

Mike ( my 2 cents)

I really think helium at 10 degrees Kelvin is more fun (maintaining old parametric amplifiers in the '70s used in satellite communications)...catch a frog at 5 feet and watch him freeze..solid..shatter...we were cruel then..but it was Clark AB, on a mid shift (SATCOM site was out by the POL for those who know..and those that remember the furniture factory burning down...damn, your as old as me)....

:lol: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: We used to do the same thing refilling LOX bottles when i was in the AF. ;D But we used liquid O2 in stead of nitrogen.

 Nitrogen was much more fun (and stable ::)) you could freeze old tools and shatter them as well.

:thumbsup: :goodpost: :lol: :rofl: :rofl: The funny thing is. Now you could NOT, get me to throw anything in LOX ,justfor the fact i know the potential for a huge explosion is so great. Just as i did then.

 Guess that shows you what 20 years does to your judgment. ;)

 Aaah the blissfull ignorance of youth. :)

Also, under the right conditions, water will form a supercritical fluid!  ;D

And in the right locations water will flow counter-clockwise down a drain.

Its also neat when it goes from ice to vapor or vice versa.

Ahhh, the triple point of water, where most thermocouples are referenced at.

Sublime, absolutely sublime... ;)

Yes yes I know. though if I put "I like sublimation" it probably wouldn't have made sense to that many people.

Figured, with the name of Iceman... it is a pretty bad groaner of a pun - one of those forced science geek type ones...
