and when it starts boiling it stops getting warmer and instead simply takes boils faster and faster the more heat is applied

Isn’t that how most matter behaves? An example of a process that seemingly relies on that, is distillation, which I imagine would be impossible to do, if once the boiling point is reached, the heat didn’t [stop going towards raising the temperature and instead going towards the vaporization enthalpy]

Faresh,

Ah, sorry. I had the impression you were saying that water was unusual in that regard («It’s honestly basically magic» misled me).

Faresh,

Is there a name for the phenomenon where something looks tasty despite not being supposed to be eaten (like soap, I always want to bite soap)
