Ahhh water. Blocks alpha particles. Disables magnets. Is there anything this wondrous liquid can't do?

    Depends on the amount of compression you’re trying to achieve, the water’s temperature, and your definition of “easy”. Near freezing, ice is compressible. Because the increased pressure causes the freezing point to rise, which causes it to melt. And liquid water takes up less space than ice.

    Be in one fraction at once. H2O consist of differerent quantum-mechanical portions: para-water and ortho-water.

    And it only gets weirder.

    paljastusNo. Don't google para-hydrogen. You will break your brain.
