Woah, that's really cool!
What's even cooler is that the Wikipedia URL actually supports unencoded slashes
I noticed that! Never seen that before either.
I was wondering what was happening there!
Water above 273 K with a certain amount of pressure becomes kiki again.
Some rain feels very kiki to me.
True, but if you look at it close up, it's bouba. Very small bouba moving fast does kinda turn into kiki at larger scales.
We need a grand unified theory for describing the physics where matter goes from bouba- to kiki-scale.
It’s not just crystals. Even amorphous solids, like glass, can be extremely kiki.
amorphous is a bouba word for kiki materials
I like to do a quick bouba/kiki experiment with people when they ask me what having synesthesia is like
Demonstrates nicely the "I didn't know why, I just know that it is" feeling
