We've been trapped in a 'clear liquid' for 4,000 years
The screen you are staring at now, although you can't feel its existence, is most likely made of some kind of aluminosilicate.

This kind of "artificial stone" is quietly counting down to modern civilization
Don't paddle away in a hurry. I know what you are going to say: "Concrete? Isn't that just cement and water? Is this considered high technology?"

It is the coldest substance on earth, but it is quietly poisoning your parrot
Please go to the kitchen and pick up that flat-bottomed non-stick pan.

"Burning" one Swedish GDP every year: This is a war we are destined to lose
If you throw an iron rod out in the wild and look at it a few decades later, it will be gone. Only a pile of reddish-brown powder remained, blending into the soil.

A cursed 'immortality': We created it, now it decides to eat us
If you now travel to 10 million years later, you want to see evidence of the existence of human civilization. By that time, the Great Wall might have weathered into mounds of earth, the skyscrapers would have rusted into slag, and even the radiation from nuclear waste would have faded away.

This "liquid silver" killed the emperor who wanted immortality and drove the hat-making craftsmen crazy.
If you were asked to choose the most "bewitching" one in the periodic table of chemical elements, it would definitely be it.

He almost killed the earth alone: the most suffocating "god of death" in the history of materials science
If you were to select "the greatest inventors of the 20th century", Edison would probably be on the list. But if you choose "the most dangerous creature of the 20th century", Thomas Midgley will definitely be at the top of the list. Even Hitler has to step back a little. After all, Hitler relies on the army to kill people, but Midgley only needs to let you "breathe" to kill people.

Half of the "parts" of your body were snatched out of the air by this war madman.

This "will-o'-the-wisp" cooked from urine is half life and half death
If you were to go back to Hamburg, Germany, in 1669 and walk into the basement of the alchemist Henning Brand, you would be so fumed by the smell that you would pass out on the spot.

Have you ever noticed that there is very little blue in nature? Except for the sky and the sea (that is physical refraction), it is difficult to find blue animals and blue rocks.

This liquid is "schizophrenic": shake it and it's a bomb, drink it and it's a life-saving medicine
If materials science also has a constellation, then Nitrogen must be Gemini, and the most crazy one.
