What does it mean?

Found this diagram in some library book.

Termite Castle Culture: Swarms of termites build castle-like structures without supervision or a centralized plan. Working independently without communication or a leader, they proceed using environmental cues.

Map -16.47, 144.89

2012: As we drove south on the Mulligan Hwy in Australia and got down on the valley floor, we must have passed thousands of little termite castles.

Unfortunately, my environmental cues were not strong enough to make me stop the car and take a picture of any of those many interesting insect homes. Not one closeup photo; sad.

MMXXII

Do a search on Google and you’ll find that MMXXII.com‘s place on page 6 is no longer preceeded, on page 3, by MMXXII.io (which no longer exists).

Dihydrogen Oxide

Triple Point

The triple point of pure water is at the temperature just above freezing (0.01° C) and at the pressure (0.006 atm) at which it can exist in equilibrium in all three states: liquid, solid, and gaseous.

Yes, water can freeze & boil at the same time!

The triple point is used to calibrate thermometers.
