Here's even more about heavy water, or deuterium oxide, including a discussion of its role in World War II and whether it is dangerous to humans? Our main water video is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUVzb0fzHsk

    They sink. They are more dense. (I am sure of it. - I saw it done.)

  • Will D2O ice cubes float or sink in liquid H2O (hidden icebergs)?

  • @zurechtweiser :( :( :(

  • @sk8er4ever0101 Heavily so. The big elephant in the room actually.

  • I'd drink it! chemically it is pretty much the same as normal water, so I doubt that it would severely differ the body's way to work

  • You might be dead, brilliant.

  • If D2O is heavy water than it's seems logical that there should also be VERY heavy water made from Tritium. (The other isotope) Is there is such a thing as T2O ? (Yes I realize that Tritium is radioactive) If the much heavier isotope of Hydrogen (Tritium) does in fact form very heavy water...then what is the ratio of the amount T2O in a glass or gallon of regular tap water? (I am aware that about 1 in 6000 water molecules are actually D2O) What about T2O?

  • @Snyltebiter you must be english, right?
