Ice-Nine?

[NQ6U]

Does this sound suspiciously familiar to any of you Vonnegut fans out there?




Researchers at Spain's Centre d'Investigació en Nanociència i Nanotecnologia (CIN2) have studied the underlying mechanisms of water condensation in the troposphere and found a way to make artificial materials to control water condensation and trigger ice formation at room temperature.

I'm wondering... no. I'm not even going there. But what I'm thinking of is not a good application of this process. There is a lot than can go wrong with this.

"I'm wondering... no. I'm not even going there."
But you HAVE gone there.

"There is a lot than can go wrong with this."
That's precisely what has gone wrong. At least the NH Railroad knows where it's going and it isn't THERE. (;->)

Refreeze the Permafrost Now! :idea:

Criswell predicts...... Ice 9 From Outer Space! It's SHOCKING! It's got a WW2 army surplus store soldier and a lot of really cool old electrical stuff from Ed Wood's closet in it too.

Someone noticed! :lol:

You're right, it's an old article. I just thought the parallels between what was reported and Vonnegut's Ice-Nine were worth comment.

Polywater is an entirely different thing, though. I use it in place of phlogiston (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phlogiston) as a coolant in my N-Ray (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-ray) generator. It reduces the emission of stray Upsilon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oops-Leon) particles.

So?

"It reduces the emission of stray Upsilon particles."
I thought Downsilon would reduce stray emissions but it didn't work in my Homotron modulator. I got it to stop blowing all the trasnsresistors, I just can't get it to stop blowing the fuse.

Up yours, up mine, up everybody's that takes time. But we're working on it."

Don't you just hate it when that happens?

Try using a higher value relativity condenser.

Just ground the B+ with a WIK.
