Got a good chuckle out of all those Dwayne Johnsons. Great video, thank you for sharing. The bit about ice being trapped inside of diamonds was really interesting!

Yes the different states of ice is interesting! I also found it fascinating how the sodium would become transparent under enough pressure

Yes! That was crazy.

This really reminded me of classic 90's science infotainment in the best possible way, complete with the really (like actually genuinely really good) catchy outro music! Excellent video.

Yes, more videos like this please! Campy but informative on novel scientific topics and recent discoveries. Just subscribed.

Really neat that water can turn into a conductive metal at high enough pressures such as in the core of Neptune.

The fact that the effects of insane pressure on matter could get us closer to being able to generate fusion power is awesome and kind of scary.
