I Notice: My Water Bottle Became a Science Demonstration Every day, I follow the same routine: freeze water overnight in my plastic water bottle, drink it as the ice melts. I do this throughout the day-- freeze, melt, drink, freeze, melt... but today, something caught my eye that I'd apparently been missing all along. I'd just finished drinking my ice water around 8:55am and refilled the bottle, but this time with slightly warm water over the remaining ice (the Trinidad sun warms the water in the pipelines), so, within minutes, I was watching a real-time physics demonstration unfold right in my hands. The phenomenon: Bubbles. Lots of bubbles. Rising up through the water like a gentle champagne celebration, followed by something even more dramatic - the bottle itself began collapsing inward on both sides. I Wonder: What Just Happened to My Humble Water Bottle? Well, bite me! Turns out my daily hydration routine had accidentally become a perfect demonstration of gas solubil...
