When snow melts, what does it become?' It becomes water, of course' Wrong! It becomes spring!
Thus it cannot be denied that the masses which today form our highest mountains were originally in a liquid state; for a long time they were covered by waters which did not sustain any life.
Salt water when it turns into vapour becomes sweet, and the vapour does not form salt water when it condenses again. This I know by experiment. The same thing is true in every case of the kind: wine and all fluids that evaporate and condense back into a liquid state become water. They all are water modified by a certain admixture, the nature of which determines their flavour.
Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.
Bubbles are incredibly basic. We think of them in that way just because they're a kid's toy. But I think it's more basic than childhood, something primal - the liquid, the flow, the shapes. We were liquid at one point in our development.
I'm really small, so I think if I shrink, I'd turn into a puddle.
Estimates of the ionic mobilities vary over a considerable range; but in any event, the positive ionic defect is much more mobile in the solid than in the liquid, and its mobility varies very little with the temperature.
The only thing bubbles care about is wet and dry.
The last thing I have to say is that ice is the past tense of water. I've always wanted to write that sentence and now I have.
