It's a solid, it's a liquid...it's a non-newtonian fluid!

Ever want to watch someone walk on water? Or at least, on something liquid? This is an awesome video that shows the amazing and bizarre properties of non-newtonian fluids. A non-newtonian fluid acts like a liquid until something puts pressure on it, then it acts like a solid....at least for a little while.



Everything on the video is real, they really are walking, and falling into, a giant tub of this stuff. It is not movie magic. Maybe it is real magic??? Nah, just awesome science.
