What would happen if you kept compressing water harder and harder—with no container strong enough to stop it? At extreme pressures, water stops behaving like the liquid we know and begins transforming into entirely different states of matter.
In this video, we explore what happens when water is compressed toward its physical limits. Discover how increasing pressure can force water into high-pressure forms of ice, including Ice VI and Ice VII, even at temperatures where ordinary ice would not be expected. Experiments have shown that liquid water can remain metastable far beyond the pressure range where high-pressure ice phases are thermodynamically favored, before rapidly transforming under extreme conditions. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
We’ll follow water through increasingly extreme pressures and examine how its molecular structure changes. At still higher pressures and temperatures, water can enter the extraordinary superionic state, where oxygen atoms form a solid-like lattice while hydrogen ions move through it almost like a liquid. Laboratory experiments have observed this behavior at hundreds of gigapascals and thousands of kelvin. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
But does water have an actual “absolute limit” where it can no longer be compressed? The answer is more complicated. Water becomes progressively less compressible as pressure rises, while its molecular and atomic structure changes dramatically. At sufficiently extreme conditions, ordinary H₂O no longer resembles the familiar liquid we encounter on Earth.
Watch until the end to discover how far water can be pushed before it becomes something completely different—and what the most extreme experiments have revealed about matter under unimaginable pressure.

Starting from Salford Central Station, we cycle along Trinity Way, the Inner Relief Road or Ring Road in Salford to take a look at Salford city development projects old, recent, new and planned, an interesting mixture of styles on the site of the old Salford. I have a few ‘before and after’ as well as ‘stages of construction’ views.
Salford city development. My Brompton bike ride is of interest to residents, investors, and anyone curious about the changing face of local urban planning in the Salford City Council area. We see how modern Salford architecture contrasts with traditional Salford architecture.
This video provides a look at the ongoing growth within the Greengate district. If you are interested in urban planning or want to see how Salford is changing, the footage offers a direct view comparison of now and the past.
I check out the current state of the city from both from the air and from street-level vantage points.

At the beginning I establish the location and boundaries of the pre-1974 Salford and the post-1974 Salford in relation to Manchester and Greater Manchester, combining old and new maps. I mention the Anaconda Cut, which is also the name of one of the recent residential towers.
What is the status of the One Heritage Tower? The plot where it is/was to be located has been purchased by Renaker. More in the video.

On the AidanEyewitness channel I explore new construction, modern architecture, urban development and local identity in the Manchester and Liverpool city regions as well as connected cities further afield.
I want to highlight what’s good, weigh up the issues and in the comments, provide an opportunity for people to share their opinions, insights and insider information. I try to answer each comment asap, but please be patient if it takes longer.

Van life in the Italian Alps right at a huge wild fire….
That brings up a lot of questions about life.
I hope everyone who is living close to a wild fire is okay and my thoughts are with anyone who has lost their home.
