Ooh isn't science magic?
Its not rerally INSTANT ice though, is it? It involves a lot of heating and stirring first.

I quite like SCIENCE.
I wanted to be a forensic scientist for years. Like in Waking The Dead. They get to play with chemicals and fizzing popping stuff.
I may not understand much of it though!

No it wasn't at work!
He was walking past Starbucks in Manchester city centre. Apparently they were doing a show in Manc.
Today Manc is full of pissed up sunburnt Glaswegian.

OK, time for a retarded question
How come when he pours it into the tray it doesn't freeze instantly until he touches it, but then when hes pouring it later on it does?

It's your basic nucleation centres
innit.
I think, anyway.
You get the same with reasonably pure water in the freezer, provided it's in a scratch free glass container.
Same applies to hot water turning into vapour and clouds turning into rain.

This happened to me at newyear when I put my sake in the freezer.
I poured it into the glass and it solidified.
It was very interesting but annoying as I didn't want a sake slushpuppy.

cold sake?? heathen. i think an opportunnnity to make a sodium accetate CDC sculpture was missed.

Love you for being the first to point this out. Praise be to Bokonon we're all DOOMED.

why does
the undisolved chemical have to stay in the pan?
and presumably the tray that he ours it into has to be chille dint he fridge too otherwise the warmth of the tray would start the reaction and kill us all! i saw that movie with kenau reeves in, you know the one, it has a motorbike and some bird

Because...
If you get any crystals in the supercooled solution, they will start off the reaction early.
You can do the same kind of thing with Sodium Thiosulphate ("hypo"), only with that you don't even need to add water - the crystals dissolve in their own water of crystallization when you heat them.

I believe
it's a supersaturated solution. Needs a centre of crystallisation (as mentioned by others)
For some substances you don't even need to touch it - you can just shock the solution into crystallising by tapping the container with a pencil.

Has anyone tried
shaping the crystalisation process using soundwaves?.. So the waveform pattern would appear say by setting it on a speaker and playing a note?

Beer freezing trick
This is a pretty good one, waste of a beer though.
