Michelson and Morley measuring the velocity of light in 1887 challenged public confidence in science. Heisenberg’s uncertainty, Einstein’s relativity and Le Maître’s Big Bang cosmology are counterintuitive. My discovery of the phase transition in ice as an undergraduate in 1967, recently corroborated by reports of the phase transition in ice XIc at 72K, restores that confidence.
