    If there was Swimming on Mars, the low temperature & low air pressure would force the pool to simultaneously freeze & boil.

        @neiltyson so how would it work? Simultaneous freezing & boiling? Would part of the pool have an ice sheet and the other bubbling h2o?

        @neiltyson does that count for the swimmers' blood, too? That doesn't sound like a good swim

        @UNEARTHED @neiltyson Freezes from low temperature, boils from low pressure. It's called the "triple point" of water. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_point …

        @neiltyson Why would low air pressure cause boiling? Not enough pressure to hold molecules together?

        @neiltyson if it would both freeze and boil, wouldn't both of those processes just balance each other out?
