Hi,
I would like to apologize in advance if I violate any forum rules. I am interested in physics just for general knowledge, I have sometimes a few weird questions that I have no way to find an answer by myself. I hope you can help. Here is the question.
Water is quite convenient as a material. It is abundant, neutral, is essential for life form. We can drink and even use water to wash a lot of things. There are certainly many other properties and cool applications which can be done with water.
Is it a coincidence that water has its properties? What if it is not transparent or corrosive or unstable? Would life develop a different way?
