Evolution has nothing to do with the big bang or the fundamental constants. Pretty bad troll effort there kevinrts.

kevinrtrs: obvious troll is obvious. neat article.

And don't forget, according to evolution, these amazing properties all happened purely by chance - right from the big bang onwards...! 104.5 degrees, exact nuclear forces, exact electron, proton charges and resultant attraction...all just by chance....! Sounds like magic? It is. If you believe it all came about by chance.

Yeah, and if they were different, we would just be asking the same question, only I would be typing using tentacles.

Get over yourself.

And don't forget, the hole a puddle is in is exactly shaped to the puddle. Sounds like magic? It is. If you believe it all came about by chance.

OK, if this was simple super cooled spring water how come that doesn't happen all the time. Many people put water in the freezer before bedtime, and keep it still, yet it freezes.

I'd like to know the DETAILS on how he did that, please.

I thought it was distilled water that did this.

It lacks the nucleation particles.

Spring water is full of particles to nucleate

Maybe that's a good way to test for the 'purity' of your bottled water - see if it freezes.

But nucleation sites can also be in the container itself, not just the water. The rougher the walls, the better the chances of freezing.

Oh, and all this nucleation talk is just asking for trouble - it might attract Dr Neutron or his sidekick Zephyr! :)

I got this happened when i forgot in the freezer a bottle of sparkling mineral water.
When i took it out of the freezer, it was liquid. In the moment i opened the cap ice started to form.
Ain't that nice ?

Kevin, this has nothing to do with evolution. Your guise is up. You fucked up big this time. Up until now, you had me convinced you were honestly as stupid as you sounded. Now we know you were trolling all along.

Zhang is not doing anything that has not been done before. The water freezing effect works as stated by popaduhu and also we have all nuked a beaker of water then taken it out and placed it heavily down (creating a shock) and the water starts to boil instantaneously ie. a super heated blob of water burst and transferred the heat to the rest of the water. Its a pity that guys with real innovative brains do not have access to this equipment, maybe we would get to the Holy Grail of free Electrolysis of H20 by means of a tuned etheric circuit and a couple of jelly beans.

So that brings the number of phases of water up to at least 27:
Solid: 20 crystalline forms (Ice II-XV, with two distinct types of ice XI), plus cubic, hexagonal, and three different densities of amorphous ice.
Liquid: two major density types, plus supercooled and superheated, and polywater (no, really! Well, actually persistent clathrate-like clusters of many types.)
Supercritical water
Steam

And that is just pure water in bulk. Even pure water behaves differently within a few nm of objects or foreign molecules or in electromagnetic fields. Once there is anything in the water (and pure water will dissolve nearly any container at least slightly) then there are effectively an unlimited number of ways it can behave.
