I have read recently that liquid helium will not freeze at 1 atmosphere of pressure, but will at 25 atmospheres.
How would this not contradict Boyles Law that pressure and temperature are directly proportional?

Thanks!

@JeremyF,
Helium is a real gas. Boyles Law applies to an ideal gas.

@JeremyF,
For starters. Liquid Helium is a liquid and Boyle's law is for gasses.
