My favorite is sublimation because its one that you can see happening and its a bit surreal.. Camphor is an easy and fun one as you can extract it pretty easily with some basic setup, or just buy it (they sell it as a superstitious thing to certain groups so oddly you can find it at the right stores). To see a solid object just slowly (or if you heat it up quickly) disappear into nothingness is always cool to see as it doesnt seem real.
A very close second for me though is supercritical point, especially if your lucky enough to see it (its usually at too high a pressure to see but there are youtube videos of people creating high pressure clear chambers to witness it). Like sublimation its one of the few phase changes that you can watch and its surreal and cool to see, though sadly unlike sublimation you are unlikely to be able to witness it or experiment with it yourself without investing a decent amount of money.

Other types are really cool but there is nothing to actually see, to it, so its not really as fun even if its pretty cool.. Those would be

1) super conductivity, but especially type II (not the type you normally hear about) as that gives rise to the flux pinning effect

2) Quantum condensation is also a cool phase state change as it allows light to be slowed down to super slow speeds and other cool effects.

Whats your favorite type of matter phase transformation?

Not very much really

Interesting Fact of the Day:

Current climate change is happening at a pace 6.2 times faster than the climate change that resulted from the asteroid impact that killed the dinosaurs.

We have had 1.06 C change in about 150 years. The dinosaurs experienced a 4.5 degree change over 4,000 years. So for the dinosaurs it changed at a pace of 0.001125 C per year for us it has been about .007 degrees per year. So current climate change is happening 6.2x faster than it did during the extinction of the dinosaurs.

For two days now ive been thinking on and off about how much air it would take to fill a balloon in a perfect vacuum :)

Man the democratic primaries are such a shit show. I am so desperate to find someone other than trump to vote for... give me one decent option people. If Greg wins id probably vote for him, though I'm not a big fan, but he probably wont win and if its one of the evil three (warren, biden, bernie) not a chance in hell ill vote DNC....

I feel like im not using the word rapscallions enough... I need to change that

A little illustration showing my take on einstein's quote. What we know we dont know is simply a small, ever growing line between what we know and what we don't know we know...,

This was in rebuttal to George Bernard Shaw who had said earlier: "Science is always wrong, it never solves a problem without creating 10 more".
