Dan vs Phases of Matter

Assume for a moment that we don't take for granted everything we learned in school.

Today's post is about the different phases of matter and mainly their reaction of going from one to another.

Coming from a naive perspective, isn't it weird how a liquid state can just go to a gas state in our everyday lives? (E.g. boiling liquid water on a stove) Would it not make more sense if there was more of a gradual change from liquid to gas, rather than just directly? It seems to not be a slow enough change, how science has defined it in classes.

Meme: Liquid going to gas, that escalated quickly.

ps - This was just the basic version. Eventually, I may have a post about supercritical fluids and degenerate gases.

"Don't Know" When I Do Know

Sometimes,
I answer a question with "I don't know" even though I may know the answer. It is a subconscious question,  "Does it really matter?" and an unconscious implicit "It doesn't matter."  I never really knew about these types of questions until I thought of it today. This is just a continuation of me trying to harness my subconscious mind by having the ability to think with it more. Meta-thought is where it's at.

Other times,
Explicitness is more beneficial, "I believe you know the answer if you think about it a little more."
