Ice XI

edit

The article seems to contradict itself on whether the ice XI phase is hexagonal or orthorhombic. The phase diagram in the lead doesn't help, as there are two different phases labeled as ice XI. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 19:01, 12 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

I had a bit of trouble matching up the phase diagram to the table in general.
Reference 67 (https://water.lsbu.ac.uk/water/ice_xi.html) seems to be saying it's both. From what I can tell the ice is made of hexagonal layers that can be stacked in an orthorhombic fashion. https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2015/cp/c4cp02893g#!divAbstract 90.195.211.57 (talk) 23:15, 24 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

It is criminal for this article not to make reference to…

…Kurt Vonnegut’s fictional version of Ice IX, an arrangement of water molecules packed so efficiently stable that any other water molecules it ever comes in contact with — like those in every living being on earth, instantly organize themselves into Ice IX also, leading to a chain reaction that freezes the entire world over. There could even be its own section about why the thermodynamics of this would be impossible. I think it was Cat’s Cradle where this made its appearance, but I could be wrong. 76.174.113.253 (talk) 08:44, 17 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Speaking of crimes of omission, your references, required by WP:VERIFY and WP:PSTS, seem to be missing. Johnjbarton (talk) 14:44, 17 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Discovery of ice

edit

The "year of discovery" for regular ice is 10,500 BC? 90.195.211.57 (talk) 22:26, 24 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Fixed, thanks.   Done Johnjbarton (talk) 22:35, 24 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you! We had a chuckle about that. 90.195.211.57 (talk) 22:47, 24 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
