Um....what?
"That's a non-Newtonian fluid." As I had never heard this term, I asked him to explain. He told me that a non-Newtonian fluid can resist its flow. As opposed to a Newtonian fluid.
Yeah.
I googled it, and I can't tell if that's right, but it sure seems like he's on the right track with his explanation. So: it's official. My eight year old is now smarter than I am. Crap.

Don't feel bad. I just had to ask Grandpa (the physicist) to explain it to me and I only sort of barely understand it.
Where does Matt hear these things?
Grandpa says to tell you that he heard of this in his first year of graduate school. I guess that is supposed to make us feel better!
