Pressure is inversely proportional to the square of temperature. As pressure increases, say by 9 times atmospheric (to make the math easy), melting point is reduced to 1/3rd of its standard temp and pressure value.
Let's call it the "pancake in a pressure cooker" theory. goofus did you make that up or read it in Popular Mechanics?
No, my words, but thanks. I used the wrong equation initially though. The right equation for solid-to-liquid conversion has melting point temp even more sensitive to pressure than the Clausius-clapeyron relation (inversely prop to temp, rather than temp squared).

Yeah, thanks Mormons. What a sellout.
