When water does not boil at boiling point
Presented by Professor Hasok Chang
We all learn at school that pure water always boils at 100°C under normal atmospheric pressure. But this is a myth, like a surprising number of things that are taken as common knowledge.
In this lecture Professor Chang, who is engaged in research in the history and philosophy of physical sciences as well as general philosophy of science, will decipher the myth.
Jellicoe room 106, School of Science, Medway Campus, University of Greenwich, Chatham Maritime, Kent ME4 4TB
