I love triple points. I once saw a graph of the complicated
nature of various "fracture" points of water (I think of it as
"reality as we know it fracturing... 'cause our definitions of
things are primitive compared to how they will be in the future]
- and there's many points of convergence, each with different
properties. Maybe it was hydrogen.. but I _think_ it was water.
The crystalline structure does different things in different
temperatures and pressure... and I had/have some ridiculously
elaborate theory regarding "all matter is really the same"
involving hydrogen's properties at super-low temperatures... but
then I realized it was a rabbit hole I needed to get out of
_fast_ before I became too devoutly attached.
The changes of crystalline structure _may_ hold a key to how
matter of one "type" becomes matter of another type, NOT by its
electron configurations or weights or whatever.. but rather by
its crystalline STRUCTURE. Like keys in a lock, or the way that
virii mimic... ok ok.. I'm going down the rabbit hole.. Gotta
come back up. Gotta come back up. Ok. Ok. It's not my dept. It's
not my dept. It's not my dept. Ok, there. I'm better now.
