I have seen numerous items burst from freezing water. And it surely doesn't occur upon thaw. Naturally you aren't going to see any evidence of water through the freshly created cracks until it begins to melt. LOL
This is the second time that you have made mention of freezing in a container with the lid off. It shouldn't take a Rhodes scholar to understand that there is a place for the water to go in such an instance versus what would happen to water in an enclosed container or in a complex or restricted peice of metal wherein the newly freezing water creates an obstruction of its own at some point in the freezing process.
It might be time to brush up a little on your freezing physics. Water is one of the very few items that expands upon freezing. Any high school student with a C average can verify this for you. If it did not and maintened the same density/weight ratio it would drift around in water at any static level as opposed to rising to the top and floating. The weight remains the same. Its volume has increased and thereby is slightly lighter in it's newly expanded size and water displacement versus the same original weight of liquid water.
It's a little hard to believe that a grown man much less a farmer could maintain such a view as you are espousing. Sweet mercy! Put an unopened can of pop in your freezer and check it out when fully frozen! It may or may not burst, though they often do. One thing for sure, I'd like to see you repost any of this nonsense after observing whether it has expanded or not.
