Recent advances in the calculation of activation energies are shedding new light on the dynamical time scales of liquid water. In this Perspective, we examine how activation energies elucidate the central, but not singular, role of the exchange of hydrogen-bond (H-bond) partners that rearrange the H-bond network of water. The contributions of other motions to dynamical time scales and their associated activation energies are discussed along with one case, vibrational spectral diffusion, where H-bond exchanges are not mechanistically significant. Nascent progress on outstanding challenges, including descriptions of non-Arrhenius effects and activation volumes, are detailed along with some directions for future investigations.
