Re: Hot water freezes faster than cold water

Ahh, but do they also expand when heated. Not argueing here, far from it.Just going by a stray comment on another forum, that SAID that H2o is the only substance that expands when heated or cooled.Wondered why. Another stray thought; Read up on the origin of DMSO, the source for MSM.Said it comes from algae, that grows in coastline wetlands. When the water evaporates, it carries the DMSO with it, into clouds, and down with rain. Absorbed into the soil, then into plants, eaten by animals, both of which we eat. This is why its so ubiquitous.My point is those who talk about using rainwater, and then distilling it, to get a 'pure' water to experiment with.DMSO would be in the rainwater, even after distilling, although admittedly in small quantities.And DMSO has some REALLY strange qualities! Wonder if some of the anamolies of water are because of the DMSO in it? I don't know if its even possible/practical to remove the DMSO.Anyway, just thinking,...Jim

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
