In 1956, Nobel-Prize-Winner-to-Be, P.W. Bridgman published a short paper entitled ``High-Pressure Polymorphism of Iron'' [1], reporting the results of his measurements of the resistance of iron samples under static high pressures. The work was motivated by the report by Bancroft et al. [2] of a discontinuity in the pressure--volume relation of iron at 13 GPa under high-pressure shock loading, which they interpreted as due to a previously unknown polymorphic phase transformation. Finding no indication of such a transition, Bridgman commented upon the Los Alamos work as:
