Water is weird at the teeny-tiny level. It can exist as a liquid, solid, and gas all at once.
In your glass, molecules are constantly swapping partners. H₂O is a spicy molecular dance floor.
It also has memory. No, not magic. Scientists are split, but some say water molecules cluster into shapes. Spooky, huh?
Your glass has microbes too.
Don’t panic. Most are harmless. Tap water has about 200 bacteria per mL. That’s 50,000 in your glass.
They’re tiny houseguests. They don’t bother you. You swallow them like invisible confetti.
Boil the water, you kill them. But then you’re drinking dead bacteria soup. Pick your poison.
