According to physicists, water is an extraordinary substance. While most materials contract when they cool, water behaves entirely the opposite; it expands as it cools. This is why the sprout of a small plant can break through asphalt and emerge above the surface.
The specific volume of most substances increases as they cool, but when water freezes, its specific volume decreases. Therefore, ice floats on the surface of water. If water behaved like most other materials, ice would sink to the depths of the water, and as a result, the oceans would turn into one giant block of ice, making it impossible for life to emerge in the depths of the water, and consequently, life on Earth would not be possible.
Each of these unique and peculiar properties of water doesn’t conform simply to the laws of physics. Science has yet to answer the question of why water is the only substance that, under standard conditions—meaning at normal pressure and temperature—exists in three states: solid, liquid, and gas. Nobody knows why, when the temperature of water reaches 100 degrees Celsius, instead of boiling and turning into steam, it freezes and becomes ice, especially when confined within nanotube.
Water is a substance that, without the need for an ionizer, thermal energy, electrodes, and so on, permanently and spontaneously ionizes under normal pressure and temperature. The lifetime of the bond between hydrogen and oxygen atoms in a water molecule is 200 picoseconds, meaning that every second, the connection between hydrogen and oxygen atoms breaks and re-establishes itself five billion times. In fact, water is an energy field vibrating at an extremely high frequency.
As we delve into the intricacies of water, we find that its extraordinary properties not only astonish physicists but also beckon us to contemplate the mysteries that lie within. From its expansion when cooling to the perplexing triple existence and spontaneous ionization, water emerges as a substance that challenges our understanding and invites us to embrace its enigmatic nature.
