“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?”

- Alice in Wonderland.

We don't need to create a world of our own to find nonsense in our daily lives. It keeps you on your toes and keeps life interesting.

So are you paying attention it? Cause I am.

Freeze.

There is something to be said about the world, and looking at the most abstract picture, life as we know it. Everyday I find that I am constantly amazed at how much we know and how much we only think we know. There are the more complex ideas that can confuse even a rocket scientist and the more simple ones that seem to boggle our mind.

I knowone thing we've all learned through experience as kids are simple ideas...take ice for example.
Ice is frozen water. A very cold solid. When its heated up, it melts and becomes a liquid.
Simple. Or is it...?

Apparently scientists have been able to freeze water with heat

Wait..what?!
Yes. At a certain level between hot and cold, water can be "supercool" which is where its basically freezing but still a liquid and as it heats up it solidifies. 

Well I know one thing for sure if it is anything like dry ice I would not want to confuse supercool water with regular cool water, because that would probably suck.

What does this all mean?
Well we're closer to being cryogenically frozen and control the weather.

Cool. Supercool. Get it? ... Anyways, the point is...don't think be fooled by thinking you really know what you think you know.
