had to ruin the whole thing with that last totally intentional comment, huh
@GunSpyEnthusiast Says:
So, you're saying Eggman can turn his Super Laser Piss into an *ice* attack?
@idontlikeitproductions3509 Says:
Water, water. What hast thou donst?
@mikesexton2046 Says:
It was a simple yes or no question.
@Lakehurst69 Says:
I'm confused. All my life I've understood that water freezes at 0°C or 32°F, but your saying water freezes at -4°C or 24.8°F. What gives?
@vamp97 Says:
happy pride to the pressurised cube of nonbinary ice
@AdrianHereToHelp Says:
So it's like a slurry/slushy while it's on that line
@sairentov Says:
Rather roundabout long winded explanation of the fact that pressure affects state of matter just as much as temperature, i mean the video could've started with the phase diagram
@aanjaneyaonly Says:
I thought that it would enter a supercritical phase in which it is also solid and liquid
@kylebowles9820 Says:
I've always wanted to taste different ices. There's like 7 kinds
@ahscott2001 Says:
“How many ice types are there?” should be confined to videos about Pokemon but here we are.
@DaleFord-d3v Says:
It only expands at a certain temp. Just as it will only turn steam under a vacum at a lower temp or higher pressure require more energy to turn water into steam!😊 https://youtu.be/ffBusZO-TO0?feature=shared
@DANGJOS Says:
Just one note on practicality. In his drawing, he shows bits of ice forming within the liquid. I'm not aware of a practical way to extract energy from within a liquid, so the ice would actually freeze on the inside edge of the container if you stuck it in a cold environment
@GringleF Says:
Now I wonder, how does ice 3 taste?
@kiryls1207 Says:
so they came out with ice 3 before gta 6
@PlateTechTony Says:
Ice 3 - Revolution
@ocoBirdo Says:
would ice 3 act just like normal ice, but more dense?
@logans3365 Says:
kinda glossed over the whole 'ice 3' concept lol
@largestudent198 Says:
Pulverized everything geologically, and arguably older than tree history.
@lemagicbaguette1917 Says:
I love how comedically terrifying the most mundane of things can be.
@_GhostMiner Says:
Even the fucking water has gone woke! I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
@theyeetstream5070 Says:
What about ice 9?
@bradleykennedy6904 Says:
I need your help.. Please... https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1c-jZb7gAyLgIgN987QreQgGTZWUW59oV
@aepokkvulpex Says:
Yaaaay nonbinary
@simonpugh3731 Says:
So we just ignoring the fact there are multiple kinds of ice, and we are just skipping from ice 2 to 3? Cool
@glennshrom5801 Says:
Instead of saying the phase of water can be non-binary, perhaps what is meant is non-tertiary. It is assumed there are three phases of water, not two. So if there are more than just the assumed three, it is non-tertiary.
@gordeliciaarthur Says:
what about meeeee -ice IIh
@aaravsingh1736 Says:
In the end he said wait, water, what are you doing... He shouldve said - "wait, water you doing..."
@LynGoob Says:
Enby ice :3
@jacobg2081 Says:
Ice 3 Sounds like a boy band from the 90s
@rphb5870 Says:
ice three is okay, but don't you dare to make ice nine
@grantmcfarlin6943 Says:
Water chooses to be non binary when under critical pressure.... Now that's good humor. LOL
@Ian-Casper Says:
Seriously tho, IceIII sounds like an afterthought bug-fix in the Matrix...
@kkgamersvloggers645 Says:
So it’s an expensive way to make supercooled water
@justgivemethetruth Says:
Very Vonnegutian
@Jason-o5s Says:
Cheer~~~the freezing point of water.(good lesson)😊
@whatif_question Says:
The video brilliantly takes a seemingly simple concept—freezing water—and unravels its complexities in a way that is both engaging and easy to follow. The explanation of phase diagrams and the interplay between temperature, pressure, and water's phases is incredibly clear and thought-provoking.
@Belladonna-x2c Says:
Yes, that is what we refer to as a "bomb". If you trapped the water inside a sealed pipe, then you have created a "pipe bomb". Woah.
@XeonosHD Says:
We got ice III before GTA VI
@mitchellwilley7208 Says:
you also gotta consider adiabatic heating in this instance.
@niniv2706 Says:
Was the "non-binary" label used to drive a point ? Gender and biological sex in all animal species is binary because ... feelings are not acceptable in science .
@papakokopelli Says:
What about Ice-9 ? Said Kurt Vonnegut
@EvolvedToEmmy Says:
We got non-binary Water before GTA6
@eugenemiya4935 Says:
A close friend used to have the CA license plate: ICE VI. It took him 1/2 hr to explain why he chose that to me. Meanwhile I was breaking trail in the snow on our skis. Ice II, he said, doesn't occur in nature except maybe at the center of the Jovan moon Ganymede; it might have enough pressure at its core to exist there. I'll glance over III and IV. When he came to VI, it came down to having a nice looking molecular structure. Now for III and IV: Friend brought a German nuclear physicist from Munich to the US. Hermann (whom I shared a tent in the Antarctric for 3 months) made both III and IV, and I think it was III, hard to make, which had an H-bond when when perpendicular to 2 H2O molecules which forms a hexagonal plane. This bond forces these 2 water molecules apart which collapses into a different crystal structure of Ice IV. He had this awesome model hanging in his kitchen, this in the era before cel phones had cameras. Alas, years later the model broke apart. Very sad. He didn't feel like fixing it. Ice 9 like in Cat's Cradle is fiction. Real Ice IX is nothing like the fiction. Can the reader distinguish fiction from reality? Both of these friends worked at Caltech. And 1st friend was briefly (for 3 years) Feynman's boss (paid for the checks).
@glennkrieger Says:
But, is the ice dead, or alive?
@untergehermuc Says:
Why is this video so unnecessarily complicated. There are so many better videos about this topic on YT. :-/
@SeverinHawkland7855 Says:
At 100,000atm (10gpa) you can have ice at over 300°C.
@NevTheDeranged Says:
So how do we get to ice 9?
@_mrjoce_6128 Says:
2:27 water is non binary? Good for them!

New enchantment added to real life: Ice III
