WATER Breaks The Rules of Physics — Feynman's Disturbing Answer

Описание: Water. You drink it, swim in it, cook with it. It's the most ordinary substance on Earth. So why does it violate nearly every rule in physics?
Solids are supposed to sink in their own liquids. Water says no. Molecules this light should boil at −80°C. Water stays liquid at 100°C. Cool a substance down, it should contract. Water expands. None of this is normal. None of this should work.
And yet, if any one of these "broken rules" were fixed, life as we know it would be impossible.
In this video, we explore the physics of water's anomalous properties through the lens of Richard Feynman's teaching style, building from the simple observation of a floating ice cube all the way to quantum tunneling of protons inside ice crystals. Inspired by Feynman's lifelong approach of finding deep physics in everyday phenomena, as captured in The Feynman Lectures on Physics and The Character of Physical Law.
