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

Yes they expand when heated, water contracts until it at a certain point (cold) and then begins to expand as it freezes so do these other substances. Once above this densest point water and these substances expand as well (hot) What is DMSO?
Moderation Note: Responses dealing with DMSO have been moved to Dimethyl Sulfoxide
