It actually comes out to 1 every 32.6 million liters (when you accidentally use the solid density of water, lol)
Here's the math using https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_water
Molar Mass = 18.01528 g/mol
Density = 917 kg/m3, solid = .917 g/m3
Moles per Cubic Meter = 0.917 g ÷ 18.01528 g/mol = 0.0509 moles
Moles per Liter = .0509 ÷ 1000 = 0.0000509
Avogadro's constant / one American octillion = magic molecules per mole
(6.022*10^23) ÷ (1*10^27) = 6.022*10^-4
number of liters = that times moles per liter over 1.
1 ÷ ((6.022*10^-4) * 0.0000509) = 3.262431986449163*10^7 or 32,624,320
But stop evading the question! If the effect were detected but misattributed, the magic molecules would still exist.
It would never fucking be detected.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
