Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Good, but she's wrong.
And yes, sometimes scientific or historical data is wrong or unclear or in need of further examination. Everyone knows water expands when it freezes. Do you know why it does that when literally nothing else in the world does? Nope, and neither does science.


That's wrong.

Gallium expands (quite a lot) on freezing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJMEhdvz1BY (2:46)

I believe there are other things that do as well.

Cheers,
Scott.
New Also this:
http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Chemical/waterdens.html

"The expansion upon freezing comes from the fact that water crystallizes into an open hexagonal form. This hexagonal lattice contains more space than the liquid state."

I thought that this had been figured out decades ago, tbh.
New Not to mention


Probably not a "she".
