    In one of the program I saw very interesting thing.
    distilled water not Boils, because water is pure.
    but if you add something in water-booom!!!
    Water blows up
    I offer to you do more realistic distilled water

    Water boils whether it's pure or not.

    THEN it wasn't distilled water, it could have been whatever. Water ALWAYS boils, distilled water does not CONDUCT.
    Maybe you mean superheating water, which may, in semi-rare cases, be the cause of your strange sight. 1. Water gets microwaved. 2. Water goes to 100 C. 3. Water is on a very smooth surface, therefore there is no surface for the water to boil to gas bubbles. 4. You add something to water, which has very smal holes in it aka nucleation sites, where water rapidly turns into gas. There you have it.

    He saw it IRL, he thinks we should adapt our distilled water for him because he thinks distilled water explodes when touching anything.

    yes

    If your talking about the super heating water myth,
    That happened because of a build up from pressure, Not because it's explosive.
