Instant Ice - Waterbending In Real Life! - YouTube[^]
Just wow.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Very nice - I didn't realize the inside of those bottles could be so flawless (so as not to nucleate freezing).
I've done (not on purpose!) the complimentary deed of super-heating water in a really new glass in a microwave oven. Drop in tea-leave and 'fooosh'. This is probably the (false) proof of urban (and rural) legends about microwaves staying in food and being unhealthy.
Also - did this for real crystallization. Usually containers are used enough to have tiny flaws so that crystallization starts at the point (a point of higher potential energy - don't worry about why). Every once in a while, when the containers are smooth and new, one needs to either drop in as seed (like touching ice to the super-cooled water in video) or try to scratch the inner surface to create a nucleation point. The crystal growth is rapid and often beautiful when you do this (also, because it's quick, it defeats the purpose of crystallization for purification).

It's an old trick - you can even do it with beer to create your own beer slushie, as shown by Mythbusters[^]

I've done it with beer myself, though unintentionally. Left one in the freezer a bit too long, but it looked fine when I took it out. Popping the top gave it just enough of a shock to start the crystalization, which descended from the top of the bottle like falling snow.
It looked amazing, but was a total waste of a beer.

So they reckon the universe is expanding. And they reckon the rate of expansion is accelerating. This is so wrong! The laws of gravity dictate that the rate of expansion should decrease over time, not increase.
What is powering this increase in expansion rate? It has to be dark energy fuelling the Dark Side of The Force, which is slowly blasting the universe asunder. Humanity is so screwed! And you think your problems with Windows 10 are important? Get your priorities right, Bubba.

Cornelius Henning wrote: The laws of gravity dictate that the rate of expansion should decrease over time, not increase. That is assuming no outside force - something we cannot know for sure. Still, it is nice to have an observation that is not as one expects.
Gravity also has a limited scope, and it might not influence the expanding vacuum very much depending on where most of that mass is.

Speaking of Oreos, I just saw this idea[^] on Facebook today. It's genious! Can't wait to try it out!
Fancy an Oreo?

Boycott those Oreos. The CEO of Nabisco is moving the Oreos plant south of the border, axing all the jobs in Chicago due to her own greed.
Quote: Executives at Mondelēz, the parent company of Nabisco, are planning to fire 600 people in Chicago who make Oreos and other beloved snack food products as Mondelēz moves production to a factory out of the country.
There’s no reason this has to happen. Even though Mondelēz CEO Irene Rosenfeld made more than $21 million in 2014, she still demanded the people who work at its factory in Chicago take a 60 percent pay and benefit cut. But when they didn’t agree, she decided to cut their jobs.
Quote: To add insult to injury, CEO Irene Rosenfeld received a $6 million raise in 2014 but is asking the men and women who make her company run to take life-altering pay and benefits cuts! In fact, she’s been paid over $170 million in compensation over the last eight years. And still, the dedicated employees at the Chicago plant are being told that it’s up to them to save the company money or lose their jobs
Somehow, I think she could save the company a lot more money than the employees would. I hate sociopaths like her.

What is powering this increase in expansion rate?
That really depends on your personal interpretation of those laws. Since science has not, as of yet, concretely figured out what gravity is, we kinda have to decide what it is on our own.
I like to rationalize the whole thing with these theories based in observation
1. The universe is absolutely crammed full of, for a lack of a better term, energy.
a. Most (~95%) of this "energy" is inert (lowest possible level of entropy: think two quarks in polar balance)
b. Inert "energy" interacts via the normal forces (strong, weak, etc...)
c. Inert "energy" still takes up space
d. Normal energy and inert energy cannot occupy the same space
e. Inert "energy" is free to move about
This theory attempts to explain the observations of dark matter and virtual particles
2. Gravity is the result of normal matter displacing inert energy
a. The displaced inert energy pushes back and creates an effect similar to pressure
b. The "pressure" is an interaction of forces (which one I haven't figured out yet) which is why the effect decreases with the distance squared
c. The larger the mass of normal energy, the greater the amount of inert energy that is displaced which is why larger bodies have more gravity
This theory attempts to explain what causes gravity. Gravity isn't the planet pulling us down, it's the combined weight of the local universe pushing us down.
Taking this one step further, everything in this part of the universe is under "pressure." Observation tells us that pressure naturally tries to equalize itself by expanding outward. It is the universal equalization of pressure that is causing the universe to expand and that expansion to accelerate even though such expansion is contrary to the very idea of established gravitational explanations.
This is all just an idea. I just happens to align with observations as well.
