00:00If you squeeze water to its absolute limit, it becomes the most powerful substance on
00:05Earth.
00:06That water you drink every day?
00:07Scientists are completely baffled by it, because water is packed with properties so bizarre
00:12it defies logic.
00:14Even if you apply thousands of tons of pressure, its volume barely changes less than 1%.
00:20In a study conducted in the United States, researchers pushed water into an insane environment
00:26of 1 million atmospheres and 10,000 degrees Celsius.
00:30The result?
00:31Water transformed into a third state, neither liquid nor ice.
00:35That mysterious form is called Ice 18.
00:38Ice 18 is a special type of ice that conducts electricity, and it's so stable it won't melt
00:44even at 18,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
00:47And if you keep pushing the pressure even further, water ultimately crosses into something physics
00:53defines as a metal.
