Hey check out this video on this website. I can't explain it off the top of my head, but I'll leave it to you to explain!

I think the water gets really cold, but not cold enough where it can freeze by itself. So when you put the bottle upside down and when you shake it, the cold air goes through the bottle and freezes it. Because when he shakes the water bottle and turns it upside down, it immediately starts to freeze.

I also agree with Alemu on what he said but i think there might of been something that was going on with the bottles oxygen so it just turned straight to ice since he shaked it and hit the top of the bottle when before it had nothing wrong with it.

the bottle in the video went through something called supercooling. Supercooling is when a liquid remains a liquid even though it is below its freezing point. When heat is removed the molecules don't have enough time to align in a solid structure. Supercooled liquids are extremely unstable, therefore even small movement or disruptions can cause the substance to quickly turn to a solid.

Just like a straw when you hold the top the water will stay,but when you let it go it falls out.I think the reason it didnt melt in the drivers seat because when you sit down in a place for long it starts to get warm,and the bottom was on the warm,but when he moved it over,the passengers seat was not warm it was cold.

The cold air I think is condensing around the bottle and it doesn't freeze because i thas been it one same spot but when he flips the bottle upside down it changes position causing the water bottle to freeze.

i think that the bottle of water didnt freeze until the guy turned it over and hit it because the water has to change postions or like move so that it can freeze. supercooling is what we call this because it remains liquid even though its freezing until you move it and stuff.

Turning the bottle upside and hitting the bottom of it makes the heat get removed from the molecules in the water and the molecules stop bouncing around in its unopened bottle which stops the molecules. Then making the liquid transform into a solid in a flash.

I believe that the water bottle didnt freeze until the guy turned it over because the water was exposed to the cold weather outside and then when shooken and put upside down had a reaction with the pressure and the temperature
