  • Yes and no, it was always technically possible to drive thirty minutes a way go to a library, find a book that hopefully has what you want in it, drive back read it over a weekend, drive back to the library drop off the book, return and waist ~3hrs of your life to Learn a factoid but the barrier to entry was much higher and esoteric knowledge was simply unobtainable unless you went to university. Radio and TV both helped tremendously but you were more subject to the opinions of the studio and politicians than you are now and you would still have to wait and hope something was relevant to the thing you don’t understand, and even then most entertainment was not educational.













  • We do have more than one type of water, D20, HD0, HT0, T20, DTO, which are all different mixtures of Hydrogen, Deuterium and Tritium or in other words the hydrogen has more neutrons, there is also a different ionization for each of those, plus there are different phases of ice which are made from different pressure that is ice I-VII, and it’s not impossible for more types we don’t know about, then there is isotopic water that have different mass and reaction rates and it’s not impossible for other types that we just don’t know about or even to create other types.

    Tldr: atoms and molecules are more varied and complex than you’d think.

    Without watching, that sounds like an awfully dumb documentary, water is a single molecule H20, it is physically impossible for it to retain any distinct shape or extra electrons and nothing else separates one molecule from another.
