      “Milk, when vapourised, passed through an appropriately enegetic field and converted into a plasma, can melt concrete”

        More like “the concrete sizzles as the milk eats through it.”

        I mean, it had said something about pasteurization heat just before that, but I don’t think that’s right.

          Yeah, boiling milk is is going cut through concrete at about the same rate a river cuts through a continent, and that process isn’t melting

            Hmmmm milk is slightly acidic, and concrete will dissolve if the pH is lowered from its normal high alkalinity, so given a large enough volume of milk…I suppose milk would dissolve concrete substantially faster than water would.
