Concerning Ludwik's comment:At 18:10 12/21/00 -0500, David Bowman wrote:
The "melting under pressure" idea was discussed here several
winters ago. It was pointed out that pressure must be very
high to produce melting. I do not think that pressures
generated by shoes are sufficiently large.
/snip/ determine the melting point depression
with increasing pressure.
The value that I get is that the melting point
decreases with increasing pressure at rate of 7.5 mK/atm.
/snip/ So it appears that Ludwik is on solid ground
(rather than on thin ice, or rather than being all wet)
with his above claim.
