Non-Newtonian fluidics is at work here [0].
If you want to try it at home, mix cornstash with water (roughly 2 to 1) and create an Oobleck [1]. Guaranteed success with kids (and adults who remained young at heart).

- dbbolton 15y ago"Cornstarch in water" was my first thought when reading this title, thanks to 7th grade science class.
- AzAngel 15y agoSame here, but thanks to Mythbusters in my case.
- FreeFull 15y agoAnother example of a non-newtonian fluid (Except, in this case, shear-thinning instead of shear-thickening) would be ketchup.
