HWKE, can you just clarify who's question are are you referring to? You replied to potterfan3, CheekyChops and Skreecheeboy prior to my post.
Solid Hydrogen unquestionably exists and my post was not aimed at confirming or refuting this fact. However, I did consider it worthwhile to provide some background information on this topic as someone just might be interested in the information. I'm sorry if you have misread my motives for providing this information.
The problem with the post from Skreecheeboy is that I can't be certain to what temperature the chemistry teacher was referring to. However, I'm sure you'll agree that it's fairly probable that the teacher was aware of the the work of McGrady and his colleagues and hopefully, was aware that Hydrogen is already a liquid at -260 degrees Celsius.
Sometimes on AB, there is every reason for providing a concise, laconic answer to a question. Unfortunately, by the time I came onboard, the question had turned away from the initial question posted by potterfan3 into other matters.
Now probably because I'm a genuine university professor , I have a habit of answering not only the initial question posted here but also any questions or statements that have arisen by other posters in answering the question prior to my own reply. That's me.
Now with this in mind, I hope you'll appreciate that I don't post here to score points. As I stated earlier, my reply diversified deliberately to fit in with the matters raised by the original questioner and others prior to my own post and for no other reason.
I don't doubt that you are correct in your assessment of what the original questioner was asking and it's admirable to confine yourself to the question wherever possible. Yet even you must see that you've diversified yourself in all three of your postings because of what others posted. Clearly, I'm not alone in being unable to confine myself

Laykie, I'll be honest with you and say I couldn't care less if you give me minus 100 points or plus 100 points. I'm not on here to score points as I said earlier.
Rest assured, the reality is that although I'm a university professor at one of the better UK universities as well as being a government advisor, I call a spade a spade simply because I never forget my modest background.
I suppose in the academic world, yes, you could call me important but my position is all down to a combination of my work and the opinions that other academics and politicians have of my ability. Their opinions have little to do with me. The same applies to the TV producers who ask me to appear on the box.
Believe me, I like a couple of pints as much as the next man and there have been times when I yearned to be a binman!

�I couldn't care less if you give me minus 100 points or plus 100 points� � That�s good because I had no intention of doing so.
�I'm a university professor at one of the better UK universities� � You are telling me this why?
�in the academic world, yes, you could call me important� � I could, but I won�t.
�The statement wasn't meant to be pompous� � I�m bored now.

Just because you're ignorant Laykie doesn't mean that everyone else is.
Clearly, you're in need of another brain cell to make a half-wit and you're only showing to the rest of us what a true idiot you are. Your need to resort to vulgarity says it all and the only person we're laughing at right now is you. Do you make a habit of hiding behind you're ignorance?
To my mind, theprof answered the question in a proper scientific manner. Don't be jealous Laykie just because you've got a huge gap between your ears. Do something about it and get and education, and while you're at it, a life as well.
Sorry prof but you were mistaken in one respect. Laykie is returning to infants school today not junior school.
Do us a favour and try not to persuade you're parents to post on your behalf again Laykie
