[fantasticreality] FWD - "In Our Time" on Water
Date: Mar 29, 2013 10:51 AM

Don't know if you can all get this player outside of UK - I've 
listened to quite a few of the "In Our Time" progs - some of the 
science ones especially were surprisingly good

Water
Duration: 43 minutes
First broadcast: Thursday 28 March 2013
Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss one of the simplest and most 
remarkable of all molecules: water. Water is among the most 
abundant substances on Earth, covering more than two-thirds of 
the planet. Consisting of just three atoms, the water molecule is 
superficially simple in its structure but extraordinary in its 
properties. It is a rare example of a substance that can be found 
on Earth in gaseous, liquid and solid forms, and thanks to its 
unique chemical behaviour is the basis of all known life. 
Scientists are still discovering new things about it, such as the 
fact that there are at least fifteen different forms of ice.
