A long time ago I remember reading a paragraph somewhere which suggested
that crystalline forms of water, which were stable at room temperature, had
_actually_ been formed by subjecting water to truly immense pressures. Does
anybody know any more about this? I've no idea where I read about it, I'm
afraid; probably some dubious pseudo-scientific rag.
