Apparently the 'No, don't touch that' when Grey was talking about the Ice9 is a reference to the book Cat's Cradle. From what I found online..
"In Kurt Vonnegutās 1963 novel Catās Cradle, a central plot element is called ice-nine. The substance, created in a lab, was made up of familiar H2O molecules, but they were locked in a novel crystalline structure that froze solid at room temperature. Because ice-nine crystals could spontaneously convert normal water into more ice-nine, the material was dangerousājust licking it would cause all the water in a personās body to freeze solid. At the end of the book, a piece of ice-nine is accidentally knocked into the ocean, causing all of the Earthās water to freeze and ending nearly all life on the planet in an instant."

And thus one of my biggest neurodivergent hyper-fixations was born. Now I look for hexagons everywhere I go, every day. You would be shocked how common they are once you start keeping an eye open for them. Every time I see one I get a little happy boost of dopamine. Thank you CGP grey, thank you Hexagons :)

In diamonds, their molecular structure is based on squares, which causes it to be extremely hard, even to the point that it is considered the hardest material ever, but there was actually a material found from a meteorite called Q-carbon that, while extremely similar to diamond, is actually even harder than diamond. Why? Because instead of having their molecular structure based on squares, Q-carbonās molecular structure based on, you guessed it, hexagons
Hexagons are the Bestagons
