@cleoabram: We actually don’t know why ice is slippery. Seriously! We know that there’s a tiny liquid layer that acts as lubricant on the surface of ice and that lets us slide across it, but scientists have been debating where that layer comes from for two centuries. Now, there’s a new theory…For more, follow along! DOI: https://doi.org/10.1103/1plj-7p4z #Ice #Science #Technology
So you say ice is not slippery untill we interact with it?

because its ice duhhhhhhhhhh

Orrrr it melts a tiny bit

ice is slippery because its smooth, just like a smooth flooring, particles don't move around here

When you pour water on tiles, the tiles becomes slippery because of the reduced friction. Shouldn’t that be why ice is slippery too? Little to no friction and water on a smooth surface.

Millions in science and we still don’t know why ice is slippery. Are you kidding me?

Oh I thought it was just the lack of friction?

You have to walk a certain way 🤔 and you don’t slip so much, unless there is an inclination. Wonder if that matters 🤷♂️

Because it’s just smooth

it's basic physics friction is made it heats up a little very thin amount of it melts and you slide on the water

I don't think this is correct. Ice gets much easier to walk on in colder temps, which wouldn't have an effect on the electrical charge.

It would be amazing if we could make tires or shoes to resist this, so interesting

So there might be ways to get around ice?

That doesn’t make sense as everything slips on ice

It was water before it doesn’t just become not water when it freezes that’s lay a water stayed on there instead of freezing no need for electrons or whatever anymore in this

doesn't ice cubes slip on other ice cubes?
