[00:00:00]Fire destroys almost everything, but why can't you burn water? The answer is mind-blowing. Water is already burned.

[00:00:08]To burn something, you need fuel.

[00:00:10]Water, H2O, is what you get when you burn hydrogen with oxygen.

[00:00:16]Just like wood turns into ashes that won't burn again, water is essentially the chemical ashes of hydrogen.

[00:00:24]The bonds between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water are so stable that they've already released all their energy.

[00:00:31]In fact, water is so unburnable that we use it to kill fire by cutting off its oxygen supply and cooling it down.

[00:00:38]So, you can't burn what's already been burned. What other science mystery should we solve? Comment below.
