[♪♩INTRO] Pressure can make us do some pretty weird things, from forgetting our own names during a big presentation, to giving ridiculous responses to Family Feud categories. But it doesn’t just make us kick our brains around the floor; pressure causes all kinds of matter to go through identity crises - like when a lump of flaky graphite changes into a diamond, the hardest naturally-occurring substance on Earth. And under extreme pressure, things get even weirder. Through personal experience or a basic chemistry class, you’ve probably learned that, on their own, oil and water don’t mix because the water mo...
