24:42Now PlayingWhy does ice float? On this explainer, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice get beyond the tip of the iceberg when it comes to ice floating, the thermodynamics of water, and how other objects float.
How do boats made of steel manage to float? We break down buoyancy and how heavy things still float. Find out how water molecules interact with each other at different temperatures and when water is at its densest. How does water function to protect life? You'll learn the important difference between water and other substances. We explore what happened to the Titanic and what would win: freezing cold water or an indestructible container.
