This man sounds like he just witnessed God parting the Red Sea ๐Ÿ˜‚

At the time I'm writing this, that video has 13.5 million views.

You may have guessed, but it isn't actually the rarest moment in history.

In fact, YOU CAN DO IT FOR ABOUT A DOLLAR!

All you need is a bottle of purified bottled water. DON'T get the fancy stuff that has minerals and such in it.

Put said bottle in the freezer (or outside) for awhile โ€“ someplace it won't be moved around.

Then, take it out slowly, give it a good whack, and watch as the water instantaneously turns to ice!

Here's the deal: Water molecules rely on impurities โ€“ bits of sediment, metals, or organisms like bacteria โ€“ to form ice crystals. Without them, water can be cooled to well below its freezing point and still remain in a liquid form.

Regular water from your tap probably has quite a bit of TDS (total dissolved solids). My city tap water has about 150 parts per million. With my cheap reverse osmosis system, however, I can get that down to two parts per million.

Your store-bought bottled water relies on the same reverse osmosis or distillation techniques to get rid of all the cysts, E-coli, lead, copper, PFAS, nitrates, phosphates, and other fun things that could make you sick โ€“ i.e., all the stuff that ice forms around.

Now get out there and enjoy the Arctic air with a little bit of science!
