Dark Matter is a theoretical form of matter. This doesn’t mean that it’s fictional – we’ve detected it – it just might be different and behave differently to what we expect. Whatever Dark Matter is, it seems to comprise 80% of all the matter in the universe. But in some regions of the universe that is not the case. In one particular galaxy there is only 0.01% ordinary matter; the rest is dark matter, and we still don’t know exactly what this is.

It is often said that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. The universal speed limit is 299,792,458 metres or 300,000 kilometres per second, and due to the rules the flying spaghetti monster imposed upon the universe during its creation, this limit cannot be broken. Or can it? Theoretical physics describes a type of particle which may be able to break the light barrier. It can also reportedly travel through time, it gets faster as it loses energy and it possesses has negative mass. So does this mysterious particle really exist?

When a Youtube channel asks whether time should be destroyed you could be forgiven for thinking that someone’s forgotten to take their medication. How can you destroy time? Smash up a bunch of clocks? Put yourself into a coma? Send a hitman after Morris Day’s backing band? All great suggestions, but we’re actually talking about the concept of time as experienced by humans, and whether our increased understanding of its properties means we need to rethink our relationship. According our knowledge of physics and the human mind, time does not appear to….

…round us which we take as a given. We know that gravity makes things drop down towards the ground. We see that birds always poop on a freshly waxed car. And we know that water turns into solid ice when it is cooled below freezing point. But is this last observation always true? Can ice be warm? Can ice be a liquid? Can you really build a hot snowman?
How can ice be hot? If you were to heat up an ice cube in a bowl you’d be left with a delicious water soup, would you not? Yes, that’s correct. And that’s the end of the video. Buh-bye everyone. Oh and don’t forget to check out our patreon only bonus clip, “What
Happens When You Heat Water Too Much Like A Big Idiot Guy.” But be forewarned, for the answer is rather steamy.
Wait, hang on. We missed out an important detail. Ice does not have to be cold. It’s true, and to explain why, let’s look at how ice is formed here on regular old Earth. If you paid attention in school for anything more than five minutes, you should know that each water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms and one water atom – hence the name H2-oh-MyGodThat’sRefreshing. Now, when water molecules are sat in liquid form it’s because they possess more energy than they do when they’re solid. Like a room full of hyperactive toddlers, the water molecules run around bouncing off one another when they’re pumped full of fun juice. Cool that water
down a little and the molecules move a little slower. Cool it down towards freezing point and they won’t stop altogether, but they will slow down so much that they appear to be stuck in a rigid form. Weirdly, when water is frozen at zero degrees, it is actually less dense than liquid water. The reason for this is that as you head towards freezing point the water molecules begin forming a solid, hexagonal crystalline structure, with the hydrogen atoms of one
molecule bonding weakly with the top of the oxygen atoms of two other water molecules. This pattern takes up more space than the jumbled up arrangement of liquid water since there’s lots of empty space between the molecules, and this causes the water to expand as it forms ice. But in exchange for the restricted legroom, you do get to look at a bunch of delightfully pretty water crystals. You need around 275 individual water molecules to form the beginning of an ice crystal, and 475 to make a fully formed crystal of ice. The colder you freeze ice beyondfour degrees Celsius the less dense it becomes, and although ice can start to become more
dense when you reach extreme temperatures, it still won’t ever be as dense as it was in its liquid form – even if you squash it. Now if we’re still using the room full of toddlers analogy things become rather grim when we talk about crushing them all together.
