Most Solids Sink. Ice Doesn’t. Here’s Why.

Ice floating feels obvious—until you stop and really think about it. In most materials, freezing makes things denser. Solids sink. That’s the rule. But water breaks it. In this video, we explore why ice floats, what’s happening at the molecular level when water freezes, and why that small, strange exception quietly reshaped life on Earth. From hydrogen bonds to crystal lattices, from frozen lakes to planetary oceans, this isn’t just a chemistry detail—it’s a deep structural quirk of nature with enormous consequences. Once you notice it, it’s hard to unsee. Water is everywhere. Ice is everywhere. And this rule-breaking behavior is happening all around us, all the time.
