Comme est ce possible ?
Comme est ce possible ?
Water bottles placed in a very cold refrigerator, freeze instantly when brought outside into the hot sun of the Iraq desert.
Credit to user "fiedag" for the following explaination; "Very pure H2O often will not freeze at 0C, as there are no little nuclei around which little ice crystals can form. It is known as supercooled water. If you disturb it, you accelerate the reaction. The fact it freezes from the top suggests that some microscopic crystals had already formed and risen to the surface of the water."
Thanks again, fiedag!
