A Question[edit]

In the article, the calculations used "...If at least 500 atm (50 MPa) is required to melt the ice...", I wanted to know why this was used, and does it have a strong reason for this quantity? --Reza M. Namin (talk) 09:28, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Copper wire[edit]

The article contradicts itself: according to the introduction, a copper wire cutting through ice is a valid example, although the details are complex. According to the 'misconceptions' paragraph it is an invalid example.

Criticism of ice skating blade effect[edit]

I'm no expert on thteh is topic, but as is, the paragraph contradicts the lead which speaks of this effect for below freezing temperatures.Tallard (talk) 20:16, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

'Latest progress' section is very poorly written[edit]

Why is this section here? Why is it so poorly written? 2601:80:C97F:EFD0:69F5:5234:3838:590 (talk) 07:40, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, I think this section is misplaced for several reasons:
  • As a wiki-reader, quite generally I dont think Wikipedia ought to be the place to advertise ones own last reaserch article, but to write about accepted and consolidated research. I also think the issue does not bare any relation with the matter 'regelation', and definitively the text does not make any conection. I further agree that the text is very poorly written.
  • As a researcher on the field I cannot acknowledge any current scientific consensus on the 'supersolidity' of water's surface; and the concept of 'water skin' is definitively not an accepted terminology for interfacial properties.

Many outstanding issues[edit]

As mentioned above by others, this article appears to contradict itself in multiple ways.

As mentioned above by others, this article appears to contradict itself in multiple ways.

This article's claims attributing Faraday's wire experiment to regelation need to be better cited and contextualized. The parts about ice skating might be best removed since this subject and the related controversy is already covered in the Premelting article.

I'm adding the {{contradictory}} template to the article and linking to Premelting.
