    Fun fact about water expanding when it freezes: If it didn't do that and instead contracted, making ice denser than liquid water, we would have no liquid fresh water on Earth, and possibly no liquid seawater, either.
    The reasons is simple: Heavier ice would sink to the bottom of the lake or river and stay there. When temperatures warmed up later, it wouldn't thaw, so it wouldn't surface as liquid water. It also reduces the temperature of the overall body of water, making it freeze faster the next time temperatures drop.
    Eventually, over years, you wind up with ever-building sheets of ice at the bottom of the body of water until you finally wind up with what is essential an ice cube that can be rather large -- imagine an ice cube the size of Lake Michigan or Loch Ness, for example. Also, since it isn't sitting on top of a mountain and exposed to the air but rather sitting in an insulated basin of air -- and that it's going to take up slightly less volume than the original -- it's going to be hidden in its own little cozy ice-cooler, so never really be in danger of ever melting.
    If water did not expand when it became ice, the Earth would be a very different planet.

Silicon is a chemical element, a hard dark-grey semiconducting metalloid, which in its crystalline form is used to make integrated circuits ("electronic chips") and solar cells. Silicones are compounds that contain silicon, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and perhaps other kinds of atoms as well, and have many very different physical and chemical properties.

    I was watching some science programme ages ago, and he said "Water is the only liquid to freeze the way it does, and that's the only reason that there's life on earth" - and then went on to talk about something else, leaving me going "Hang on a minute! Explain that!"
    Someone later said that water is the only liquid that freezes from the top down rather than from the bottom up, so that sub-zero ocean depths have free water while the surface is iced over, but I've no idea about this, either.

    • @michaelb1761
      @michaelb1761 2 роки тому +6

      The reason water is liquid at subzero temperatures deep in the ocean is because of the immense pressure preventing it from forming the rigid structure of solid water, aka ice. It's also why glaciers move. The weight of the glacier produces energy through the pressure it exerts against the ground melting the ice underneath it and producing a layer of water that allows the glacier to flow.

      Ice is less dense than water so it floats and insulates the water below it, preventing it from freezing. This is in contrast to most other things where the solid form is more dense than the liquid form.
      If water behaved “normally” and ice was heavier than water, it would sink to the bottom and let new ice form at the top, until the lake or pond was solid ice and everything in it was dead

      Water isn't the only substance that behaves that way. Gallium, bismuth, antimony and germanium do also.

This property made antimony and bismuth useful for type metal alloys,

    There is a theory that frozen water being less dense floats protecting the water below. If it became more dense it would sink to the bottom of the lake or sea. This in a cold climate a lake might end up being a mass if ice with a thin layer of liquid water on top. This is an old theory, that ice floating may be necessary for the development of complex life. Just maybe.

      You say minute, but nothing on a universal scale is minute. There are probably more new hydrogen atoms made after the formation of atoms then there are grains of sand on all the beaches AND in each ocean. Which would mean Simon is still wrong. It would be nice for these people to have actual scientists and not people who just search random facts, it means they will be wrong at least one time in each video...
      You should realize Simon's videos aren't exactly for smart people but idiots who brainless accept everything presented to them as fact.

    • @jakebreedlove9619
      @jakebreedlove9619 Рік тому

      All living things are NOT made of DNA; it might be said that all truly living things *HAVE* DNA, but that depends on several undecided definitions (e.g. are red blood cells alive? They don’t have DNA. What about some viruses? Especially the recently giant viruses “giruses” that contain most of the equipment for transcription and translation.)

      Moreso that the big bang happened everywhere, basically. Instead of a single point of infinite density expanding outward from some central location, everything that exists expanded everywhere at the same time, rapidly at first, then more slowly, but still continuing to this day, still everywhere. Super brain-breaking to try and conceptualize,

    10:19 Fun Fact about the Chemistry of the Sun: Hydrogen proteins in the Sun do not exist, instead hydrogen atoms under the combined gravity of all the other hydrogen atoms are gradually turned into helium through the process of fusion. This process extends from helium through various elements ending in iron, which cannot fuse to become anything else.
