Could water break a container it is physically unable to rupture?
In short: We know that freezing water can crack steel, but what happens when the container is truly unbreakable? This video explores the physics of expansion and the limits of containment.
The video investigates the destructive potential of water during the freezing process. While it is a known phenomenon that water can crack steel containers through immense pressure, this episode examines the theoretical consequences of placing freezing water inside a vessel that is specifically designed to be unbreakable.
