[eauutoqh] Supercritical half glass

Seal a glass that is half full of liquid.  Not sure what the gas of the other half should be.  Heat it until it boils and the liquid and gas become supercritical.  The point/joke is, the designation half full (equivalently half empty) can only be made if one can distinguish between liquid and gas.

Inspired by YouTube videos of fluids (usually liquid carbon dioxide) going supercritical inside sealed cells.
