| Apr 15, 2021 at 10:08 | comment | added | Ivan Neretin | What is so special about the age of 18 (in many jurisdictions) that makes a person suddenly acquire all those rights? Nothing, except a human convention. Same thing here. Sure, by applying enough pressure you may bring the molecules of a supercritical fluid as close as they are in liquid. It is just that we don't call that "liquid". | |
| Apr 15, 2021 at 10:01 | comment | added | Desai | The temperature is too high to allow any inter molecular attractions that'd help them liquefy. Imagine you're running a relay race and have to hand over the baton to the next member, if you're running too fast then the baton cannot be passed. I know it's a funny way to understand it but that's how I think of it. | |
