Our 1970s science expert George demonstrates the phenomenon of supercooling. In this experiment, we have cooled water to a temperature below zero degrees Celcius, but it has not frozen. Disturbing the system (i.e. banging the bottle it on the table), facilitates the thermodynamic phase transition from liquid to solid, which once started, occurs very rapidly, as is demonstrated by George.
