Kind: captions Language: en most people know that you can melt ice just by putting salt on it salt decreases the melting point of the ice meaning it'll melt faster what's another way to decrease the melting point of ice the answer is you apply pressure to it tonight I want to do an experiment on regelation regelation means you apply pressure to ice and so it turns into water but when that pressure is removed it turns back into ice I have two pairs of 1.5 kg weights this pair is joined by a bit of fishing line and my other pair is joined by some copper wire they're both the same thickness now I'm going to put the wire and the fishing line over this block of ice and try to pull it through the ice and I want you to make a prediction which one will pass through the ice first will it be the copper wire or the fishing line or will they both pass through at the same rate make your prediction now you got about 5 seconds left quick pick one ah it's too late
