This insane golden chamber contains water so pure it can dissolve metal, and is helping scientists

Hidden 1,000 metres under Mount Ikeno in Japan is a place that looks like a supervillain's dream.

Super-Kamiokande (or "Super-K" as it's sometimes referred to) is a neutrino detector. Neutrinos are sub-atomic particles which travel through space and pass through solid matter as though it were air.

Studying these particles is helping scientists detect dying stars and learn more about the universe. Business Insider spoke to three scientists about how the giant gold chamber works — and the dangers of conducting experiments inside it.

... like distilled water?

Yeah but probably 100X more pure than commercial bottled standards.

On a side note, distilled is great to drink because it will suck toxins out of your body.
