Water is the strangest thing on earth ... and throughout the universe

Really. Watch this from the BBC.

Science journalist Alok Jha marvels:

"all of the water on earth is alien ... the water arrived from asteroids and comets from the edges of space..."

"did you know that hot water freezes faster than cold? ..."

"we now know there's water on the moon, on Mars, on Pluto .."

Humans cannot live without water. Sixty percent of our bodies are water. 

Our science can observe water, but as Mr. Jha explains, does not understand water.

Indigenous peoples know that water is life.

That's why I'm proud to serve as a member of the board of El Porvenir which assists rural Nicaraguans bringing clean water to their isolated rural communities.

I often fill the ice cube trays with hot water. I didn't know it froze faster but I feel like the cubes are clearer, if that makes any sense.
