>the discovery of the ice nucleation ability of silver iodide (Vonnegut 1947)

>Vonnegut found that silver iodide particles could serve as nuclei for the formation of ice crystals in both super-cooled liquid water and water vapor that is supersaturated with respect to ice.
>This finding was a major breakthrough, as it showed that a chemical compound could be used to artificially induce precipitation from clouds, a process that would later be used in cloud seeding.
Please read this, I am begging you.
The funniest part is I asked for examples of where this went wrong, as the National Weather Service cant predict a fucking tornado, let alone try to seed, create, and then track one they made themselves.
