    Carbon, like water, is a very cool element substance which doesn’t fit nicely into the known laws of physics. Like water it is also one of the most important elements substances for the development of life as we know it.

      element which doesn’t fit nicely into the known laws of physics

      You might be offended but you really do need this; you’re an uneducated idiot spouting nonsense and you should stop.

        Down boy. You are correct that I made an error there, talking off the cuff late at night about some of the coolest things I learned while actually getting an education in STEM. Water behaves in some really strange ways, such as being so slippery in solid form by maintaining a thin layer of liquid on the surface, or having vastly greater surface tension than other liquids.

        Go use your super powers to help people who are actually in danger, instead of slinging insults at random strangers who use one word wrong while discussing their interests.

          It’s not one word it is the entire thrust of this claim

          doesn’t fit nicely into the known laws of physics

          Carbon and H2O have been studied extensively, they are well understood and your claim is counter to that.

          If you had issues understanding it or believe it isn’t intuitive then that’s fine but a blanket statement that physics models are ‘broken’ when it comes to water is ridiculous.

            My dude. You came into a thread where people were happily discussing interesting things and started shitting all over the walls.

            Get help.

              Your incorrect non-answer to the question helps no one.

              Your shitposting is the issue here.

              Get educated.

                This is a forum for discussion open to the general public, not a scientific symposium. Get some perspective.

                  So you went from ‘mr STEM’ to ‘shitposting in public is my right’.

                  Well I agree, it’s a public forum, being called out on your bullshit is part of the fun.

                  Get over yourself.

                    Didn’t go from anything to anything. Both are true. And you’re still causing far greater problems than anything you’ve solved.

        You might be offended but you really do need this; you’re acting like an asshole when a simple correction would’ve sufficed.

          Please be my guest and spend your life correcting misinformation spouting morons on the internet instead.

          The morons don’t listen or learn and only pollute online spaces.

          So no a simple correction would not suffice and you would know that if you were paying attention.

      Water isn’t an element. It is a compound. Hydrogen and Oxygen are elements in said compound.
