This is no paradox, it is standard experimental science. Well-considered and carefully-executed controls are critical to good... -
swissgirl1999 Refer replied to the thread Undergrad Is Water's Volume Expansion Upon Freezing an Intrinsic Property?.You didn't get my point, which is: any sophisticated data that I bring that might contradict mainstream thermodynamics won't mean...

swissgirl1999 Refer replied to the thread Undergrad Is Water's Volume Expansion Upon Freezing an Intrinsic Property?.Yes — the mechanism is different, and that is precisely what makes it interesting, not what explains it away. Still water, no added CO₂...

swissgirl1999 Refer replied to the thread Undergrad Is Water's Volume Expansion Upon Freezing an Intrinsic Property?.Here lies a paradox: to the independent researcher it is demanded "infinite controls", nevertheless, when the outcome contradicts the...

Some of those photos show a LOT of loss of volume. IMO, that much shrinkage is hard to explain. And it is very pronounced in some...

swissgirl1999 Refer replied to the thread Undergrad Is Water's Volume Expansion Upon Freezing an Intrinsic Property?.Quite the contrary — this is still water (no added CO₂). The bubbles are not dissolved gas escaping; they are forming where there should...

swissgirl1999 Refer replied to the thread Undergrad Is Water's Volume Expansion Upon Freezing an Intrinsic Property?.If compressive stress suppresses expansion, then rigid containers (copper, glass) would suppress it more than flexible plastic. Yet...

swissgirl1999 Refer replied to the thread Undergrad Is Water's Volume Expansion Upon Freezing an Intrinsic Property?.Ok, it floats, but that doesn't explain why it shrinks.

swissgirl1999 Refer replied to the thread Undergrad Is Water's Volume Expansion Upon Freezing an Intrinsic Property?.Take a plastic bottle of mineral water, open the cap, let the pressures equalize, then close it. Wait about 30 minutes, until the...

You say that there is zero obervational support for continuous space-time, but it is the same for discrete one. You seem to be convinced...

Discreteness of what, though? Let's take the cases you give: Even leaving aside that there are arguments in the literature against the...
