Yeah - my mind reached its limit when my Dad told me about the “triple point of water” in the ‘60s.

It’s the point where it is said to exist as liquid/gas/solid at the same time - the fun part is that the balance is so tenuous that when water is at the exact temperature, a finger nail flick to the container “knocks the heat out of it” and it immediately crystalizes into ice.

Yeah that’s when I ask for the check please :)

I just read a little about it. Somehow frozen molecules, if they have enough energy, will evaporate even at 0 degrees celsius.

That’s where I stopped reading :)
