Ice9
Bokononist rejoice!
Psh, old news. This is ice19. But please no one drop it in the ocean. Just to be safe.
I see they've discovered my ex-wife's heart.
ex-wife: "sorry you're not hot enough, unlike the next neighbourhood chad"
That never pans out well (for her)
Are you Surtur?
Oof. Sounds like you had a rough time of it :(
this is badass.. there might be multiple layers made of different phases of this superionic H2O "metal", which generates convection currents of this stuff.. Neptune and Uranus are weird inside..
Check out this planet shamer right here.
You’re weird inside, all gooey, goopy, and icky looking.
He aaid your anus was weird inside....
i draw the line at keeping multiple phases of metallic water inside you, brother.. that definitely makes you alien, and i'm pointing my finger and going "WTF", i don't care if that makes me a planet fascist..
holy shit now that is cool as fuck.
No, it's hot as fuck. Rtfa much?
More like high pressure af! Hbu rtfa much?
The real question is if there is something that can exist and "live" in the parts of the universe that are so unusual and beyond our experience, would we even recognize what it is if we saw it?
Yeah, like https://www.livescience.com/space/mars/nasa-may-have-unknowingly-found-and-killed-alien-life-on-mars-50-years-ago-scientist-claims
It was also discussed on Lemmy. Wish we could link to posts.
Maybe, we understand that self replicating chemical reactions are a thing, that the thing they are is basically a step away from life, and our scientists are looking for such things. Maybe the lay person won’t notice, but scientists may
It’s called IcyHot and they have it at Walmart. Old news
man, the universe is amazing. very neat find.
I mean, at the extremes, a bunch of things start acting weird. Cool gas down enough and it turns liquid, heat it up enough and you get plasma (?), put it under enough pressure and you get liquid (?), send strong currents through materials and they start acting weird too.
What makes this ice though? the structure?
So if we can produce this, can this have a practical use like in freezers/coolers. Or even in drinks? How cold is Ice XVIII and XIX?
Up to 5000K at up to 200 GPa. So to answer your question:
No.
You'd add one cube to cool down your tea and it'd blow up your house.
It's been a long day and somehow this comment really made me laugh. It's so perfect and dumb. I love it.
The benefit of ice in drinks is its coldness, not its solidness.
But if your drinks aren't chewy are you truly living?

This is what low key genius looks like
maybe not, BUT we probably know what the God Neptune uses to make that big trident of his
