Water is weird | Alok Jha | TEDxWhitehall
Water is a strange molecule. We are so accustomed to water that we rarely think much of it. But water behaves in very unusual ways, which make it uniquely suitable for developing and sustaining life. Science journalist Alok Jha explains why he became fascinated with water. Alok Jha is a journalist and broadcaster. He has worked as science correspondent for both ITV News and the Guardian, covering daily news and current affairs for more than 15 years. He founded and presented the Guardian’s award-winning Science Weekly podcast and has written and presented several TV and radio documentary series for the BBC. He has covered everything from space to particle physics to stem cells in his work, and reported from all over the world, including live from Antarctica. He is also the author of three popular science books, including The Water Book (Headline, 2015). This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Water is far more weird (magical) than explained here. It's almost unbelievable. Please see Water memory documentary following a Nobel prize winners investigation. It will floor you.

WATER IS AMAZING! I am obsessed with learning about it! Absolutely incredible and very under valued in our health care (sick care) system! Water is the key
Water Word Water, water everywhere a pond, a pot, an ice rink. As you slide and slip, and dive and dip and brew your morning tea Just pause, take note, a bit longer to ponder the wonders & weirdness the oddity of water.
Superb
In my glass of water I see beer molecules.. :)
One of the best basic introduction to water I've seen swimming out there in youtube ocean
I heard the centimeter was based on the size of a drop of water on smooth granite.
I was searching for my name on Google and this came up

I've seen it and it blew my mind. I bless every cup of water before I drink it.
If the world were aware of the uniqueness of the water in the universe there wouldn't be such waste by humans. This kind of talk should be more popular, but it isn't. :/
