"Why doesn’t my bowling ball go through the ground if it’s denser than dirt??" Mind == blown

  It's a little more complicated than that. A pile of salt doesn't have nearly the cohesion that the ground does, and mercury only resembles a ball when you take surface tension into account. Both very scale-sensitive questions. But mostly yes, it looks like surface tension is the answer.

  Or just sand.
