Effect Definition
Although widely mentioned there are very few, if any, modern descriptions of exactly what the effect is and how it may be observed. It is not clear whether 'freezing' refers to the point at which water forms a visible surface layer of ice, or the point at which the entire volume of water becomes a solid block of ice. Some experiments have instead measured the time until the water reached 0 °C.
There are no reliable sources that indicate exactly how to demonstrate the effect and under exactly what conditions it occurs.

Famous quotes containing the words effect and/or definition:
“The cities of the world are concentric, isomorphic, synchronic. Only one exists and you are always in the same one. It’s the effect of their permanent revolution, their intense circulation, their instantaneous magnetism.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Was man made stupid to see his own stupidity?
Is God by definition indifferent, beyond us all?
Is the eternal truth man’s fighting soul
Wherein the Beast ravens in its own avidity?”
—Richard Eberhart (b. 1904)
