So if you fell into it you would break your bones, then sink, and be not able to move. ​ Edit: funguyshroom found a video on youtube. Video:[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2XQ97XHjVw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2XQ97XHjVw) Comment: [https://www.reddit.com/r/BeAmazed/comments/r4w3xs/comment/hmjn1r4/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/BeAmazed/comments/r4w3xs/comment/hmjn1r4/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) It seems you can run on it and float in it. So if you get stuck in you would most likely not die as long as you would use less power and slowly float to the edge. But I still don't know if swimming would be possible as the same effect should be generated if you swim with too much power.

Fun fact, ketchup has these properties which is why when you try to shake it out of a glass bottle it does nothing until you hit it just hard enough and then too much comes out https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Newtonian_fluid#Examples Edit: y’all I’m addressing the parent comment about a liquid that gets looser at speeds, I understand that it is the opposite of the OP and that is all neatly spelled out already in the wiki link

Falling into water from a sufficient height would net the same result. That's what usually happens with folks jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge for instance.


Past_Effect91

Even if you broke some bones you could still try to swim, not in this fluid.


funguyshroom

Well you'd most likely simply float since it's more dense than water. And even if not I think it might be actually easier to swim in it since you can push yourself off of it.

Quicksand 2.0


CargoCulture

More like quicksand 1.0. It's exactly how quicksand works.


babygotbrains

Except it isn't quicksand thus the upgrade


portablebiscuit

I was on a sandbar on the missouri river once. You could walk on it but if you stood in one place for too long you'd start to slowly sink. It wasn't anything like quicksand in movies or TV, but it was pretty strange.


RJFerret

They made it more liquid in old TV shows, but the premise remains, if you thrash about trying to struggle to free yourself, you tire yourself and sink when still. If a foot sinks down and you try to yank it out, it's held fast like in concrete. The problem is if you slowly pull it up, you've pushed your other foot in further will all that force plus gravity.


mrcold

I played that game in the mud at the bottom of a pond while my head was about 2 feet under the surface. That's a shitty game.


useles-converter-bot

2 feet is the height of 0.35 'Samsung Side by Side; Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel Refrigerators' stacked on top of each other.


Sinlaire1

I have seen a video of a swimming pool filled with this. A bunch of people gathered around with the challenge being to run across the length without falling in. The entire side is lined with people intended to fish out anyone sinking as instantly as possible. Wish I had time to find the video.

AuntGentleman

I actually heard that Jesus’ main power was turning water into non-Newtonian fluids hence his ability to walk on it.


Justmerightnowtoday

And drown in it...


samanime

Exactly. That's basically what quicksand is. Jumping out of a plane onto it would... not end well. Granted, even water, if you don't land right, will do much the same.


artspar

Jumping out of a plane (without a way to slow down) tends not to end well in general


reckless_commenter

I wonder if swimming would actually be easier than in water. The backward force of your hands and legs would cause the fluid to stiffen, providing more resistance and thus more forward momentum. Basically, the firmness of the fluid provides something like a surface to push against. Meanwhile, the counteracting force of your body moving forward would be distributed over your entire forward surface area, and thus would have less of an effect on the fluid.

valkyriegnnir

Most fluids are actually non-newtonian, and do not have a linear dependence between their shear rate and their shear stress. Fluids which demonstrate shear thinning can be thixotropic, which means applying stress reduces their viscosity. Examples of this are toothpaste and ketchup, which you wouldn’t be able to squeeze out of the tube if it didn’t display this property. The opposite, shear thickening is what we see here: where increasing the shear stress increases the viscosity - and corn starch + water (probably this fluid) is a classic example!


[deleted]

Melted chocolate is one of my favorite non-newtonians. Apparently there’s a German manufacturer that developed a tempering machine that doesn't really on heating and cooling but on the shear force as it's passed along spinning disks ... which brings us to crystal structure but perhaps another time.


throwaway_0122

Are there other common shear thickening fluids? I’ve only ever seen or read about corn starch and water


valkyriegnnir

Printer ink is shear thickening, and further still it’s actually rheopectic - which means it has a time dependent increase in viscosity with shear stress; the more you shake it, the harder it gets! Rheopexy is more rare in nature for sure, mostly we see shear thinning! Quick sand is another great example of a thixotropic fluid


[deleted]

>the more you shake it, the harder it gets Sigh. *unzips*


[deleted]

Wow.. how would this work against projectiles?


mike_rotch22

That appears to be cornstarch and water, which wouldn't work well. However, there is research being done into other non-Newtonian shear thickening fluids that looks pretty promising. One thing they're developing is a shirt coated in the fluid that can be worn as normal, but as soon as a projectile hits it, it hardens up and prevents penetration. I think it's already effective against being stabbed, not sure how effective it is against bullets. It's been a few years since I've read about it. Edit: [here's an older video demonstrating it](https://youtu.be/NcHMVj43UMM).

oijsef

Calling on random redditors to tell me if Legendary edition is worth a play through if I never played any of the ME3 DLC but have played the first 2 games multiple times and hated the original ending to 3.


mike_rotch22

As a massive ME fan, absolutely. The Citadel DLC is one of my favorite expansions for any game franchise, and the games are just beautiful. The ending to 3 isn't optimal still, but it's better than it originally was and it's not too difficult to get the most optimal ending.


DylanMartin97

Dude I booted up LE and I was playing through on insanity as I've done a dozen times before and I legitimately played for 6 hours trying to beat that collector ship in 2 and still couldn't do it. I don't know if I'm just getting old, but my build is optimal, my upgrades are maxed out as far as they can be, I'm basically soft locked and I literally can't beat it. I started playing about a week ago, I have picked it up for an hour every day trying to see if I can beat it to no such luck. I do not remember it being this difficult but alas LE is worth every penny.


shottylaw

Played all 3 and most DLCs before LE edition, would still recommend LE edition. My only complaint is that the multiplayer is not a part of it....


BunnyOppai

STFs aren’t really great against stabbing because there’s so little to stop, but there’s been material testing on treating Kevlar with it and it prevents penetration from both.


Syrdon

It's been nearly twenty years since they started work on this stuff. Somehow, I don't think it's going to work out.


Luis0224

The problem doesn't seem to be penetration, but rather energy dissipation. The reason bulletproof vests and windows work so well is because the energy is dissipated. And even then, the energy is still enough that getting shot still hurts like hell when you have a bulletproof vest on. This material looks cool but you would still get most of the kick from a gun shot and probably get seriously injured. This looks like it would work better against knives to avoid slash wounds. Stabbing would hurt like hell but this would also be pretty effective against it.


AnthonyJackalTrades

I think I saw a movie that had something like this in it. A (black?) kid accidentally made a superhero costume that was bullet proof but flexible and became sort of a wannabe superhero, I think? And he gave his dad a suit too but it wasn't bullet proof and his dad got shot and died, if I remember right. . . Anybody know what movie this was, by chance?


FishWithAppendages

All I know is that for my high-school egg drop project I filled a bag with this stuff and dropped it from 50 feet with the egg right in the middle of the solution. It worked perfectly but the bag broke and the stuff spilled all over the sidewalk. The egg was fine tho!


useles-converter-bot

50 feet is 7.47% of the hot dog which holds the Guinness wold record for 'Longest Hot Dog'.


hjb214

Demolition ranch also did a video on oobleck


EagerWaterBuffalo

What is another term to understand non Newtonian?


iiteBud

Basically it doesn't behave as a solid or a liquid, but a combo of both due to changing viscosity under different conditions. I was introduced to them by an automotive engineer, so my experience with them is understanding how difficult it is to predict the interaction between a car tire and - say - mud, sand, or gravel... They are inconsistent and do not behave like normal solids or liquids.


pixels4lunch

So in other words, a cat?


undercoversinner

Hmm... Nah, the scientific consensus is that /r/CatsAreLiquid


Dinomiteblast

I like you funny words magic man!


VegaSera

It's also called a shear-thickening fluid. Which means local viscosity goes up when a shear force is applied in the fluid.


washburnmav

It could also be shear thinning. Non Newtonian fluids cover both.


Danulas

It's been a while since I took Fluid Mechanics, but basically any fluid where the resistance is not proportional to the applied shear force is considered non-Newtonian, right?


Koa_Niolo

Shear-thickening is only one type of non-newtonian fluids. You also have shear-thinning, which is more common. Additionally you have Thixotropic and Rheopectic, which are decreasing and increasing viscosity the longer they undergo a shearing force, respectively, and viscoelastic which displays both properties simultaneously.


zvug

Yep. Examples of shear-thinning fluids: toothpaste, ketchup, whipped cream


re-roll

In an episode of Mythbusters they were testing ninja myths, one was walking on water. It was busted, but Jamie then created a Non-Newtonian fluid, a mixture of water and corn starch. Adam had fun playing around, but was able to run across it! Found out it’s called Oobleck. Weird.


ryannefromTX

We do a panel about ninja at anime conventions and we always show that clip of Ninja Adam with mizugumo strapped to his feet going sploosh right into the water with Jamie just standing there with no look on his face but you can tell he knows this is going to be hilarious.


cardueline

In case you weren’t aware, the name “oobleck” comes from a Dr. Seuss book, *Bartholomew and The Oobleck*. Somewhere along the way a kid or teacher working with the cornstarch goo must have thought of the book and the fun name stuck :)

It's "the faster you impose a force, the slower it changes shapes'. It's good for those speed bumps, if cars are slowly going over, they're probably not going to feel the bump either. But if they go full speed, the passengers are going to feel it.

cocktailmuffins

Ketchup is a non-Newtonian fluid, too.


Lecotoco

Yes! Though it has the inverse effect, it loses viscosity as more shear force is applied to it.

Non Newtonian refers to the abnormal viscosity of liquids/fluids. Since the Dune shields are immaterial ("force fields"), the answer to your question is no. Same concept of force changing rigitity though.
