Ah, had Vonnegut a scientific bend?
Did not know that.

...Langmuir is said to have come up with an idea about a form of solid 
water that was stable at room temperature in the hopes that Wells might 
be inspired to write a story about it. Apparently, Wells was not 
inspired and neither he nor Langmuir ever published anything about it. 
After Langmuir and Wells had died, Vonnegut decided to use the idea in 
his book Cat's Cradle.
...
Haha.
