I wonder if we are finding structure here because we are looking for structure. Similar how you can find human faces in random pixels or rocks.

- hks0 4mo agoBut what if we find the exact same face in different rocks or pixels? I also think the researchers were aware of this issue as the article mentions they were careful not bias their model. Very interesting point though!
- hedgedoops2 4mo agoNah. If I understand the article correctly, they found a phase transition reaction, a chemical reaction that occurs in liquid water below 0 C that splits the body of liquid water into one continuous region of high density and one of low, so its no longer a uniform liquid. This would also release heat, like the freezing reaction (and unlike random rearrangements of molecules in the liquid).
- hedgedoops2 4mo agoOkay thats wrong they didnt find that. Looks like just did some ml and it suggested that such a reaction exists and what the two species are. Also its unclear whether during the phase transition there really is two seperate macroscopic regions as opposed to a mixture (maybe like a suspension)
- hedgedoops2 4mo agoYou should still be able to confirm it with calorimetry though I guess? I'm confused about this.
