Here's a very interesting and entertaining YT regarding an apparent property of water. When water is stored below freezing under a pyramid it apparently does not freeze. It can be rotated as a liquid but when shocked it freezes immediately.

Wow. It will happen without the pyramid. Just leaving pure, bottled, unopened water outside will make it do that. You shake it and it turns to slush. No pyramid needed.

Wow is this real?

Pretty interesting stuff if it is, Thanks

This is an extremely well known phenomenon. The pyramid is completely unnesesary and is frankly total new age BS.



What is happening here is strange, but the process can be understood if you think about water freezing. Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees C). If you were to stick a thermometer in a cup of water and put the cup in the freezer, you would find that the temperature of the water falls to 32 degrees F and then hangs there until all of the water is completely frozen. Then the temperature of the solid water falls to the temperature of the freezer.
What if you could somehow supercool the water? That is, say that you could get the water's temperature to 10 degrees below the freezing point without it crystallizing into a solid -- you can sometimes do this using a very clean glass and distilled water so there are no points for the water to begin crystallizing. In this condition, if you tap the glass the temperature of the water will jump up to 32 degrees F (0 degrees C), and the water will solidify quickly

Interesting. Didn't track the original site, unfortunately. But I believe they stated they could go down to -32 Celsius? Pretty darn entertaining, though.

Same thing happens when I leave a beer in the freezer a little too long. It's fine until I open it then it freezes up.
