The Science of Ice and Cosmic Collisions
This chapter explores the properties of ice, including its melting point and the impossibility of merging ice cubes through pressure alone. It then transitions into a discussion about cosmic collisions, examining how these events generate light and the implications of high-speed impacts. Additionally, the chapter highlights the behavior of light in different materials, particularly diamonds, and considers the energy generated by meteor impacts in relation to atomic structure.
