The July 2019 Russian Submarine Disaster "Planetary Catastrophe" Link Evokes Kurt Vonnegut's "Ice Nine" - An isotope of H2O that causes water molecules to "stack and lock," that has the potential to crystallize every drop of water on Earth (russia-insider.com)

"Suppose someone threw a seed of Ice Nine into the nearest puddle?"

"The puddle would freeze," I guessed.

"And all the muck around the puddle?"

"It would freeze."

"And all the puddles in the frozen muck?"

"They would freeze."

"And the pools and the streams in the frozen muck?"

"They would freeze."

"You bet they would" he cried.
