* a salty solution likes to soak up water vapor like a sponge
* water will separate from that salty solution at low pressures in presence of heat

this is in contrast to…

Interesting that the log mid point between the smallest and the largest thing we know of is roughly the size of a human egg cell.

* planck length: 1.616×10^−35
* diameter of the observable universe: 8.8×10^26
* log mid point / human egg cell: 0.12 mm
