1889 Prediction That Has Almost Come True
We may indeed live yet to see, or at least we may feel some confidence that those who come after us will see, such bodies as oxygen and hydrogen in the liquid, perhaps even in the solid state, and the question of their metallic or non-metallic nature thereby finally settled.
Notes:
Andrews predicts our seeing hydrogen as a liquid; although, I do not know if we have seen it as a solid yet.
