Ever wondered why you get déjà vu or see "ghosts"? According my theory, it isn't a "glitch in the matrix," because nature is a continuous, self-correcting analog organism.

Ever wondered why you get déjà vu or see "ghosts"? According to the sources, it isn't a "glitch in the matrix," because nature is a continuous, self-correcting analog organism.
In a fluidic universe, space-time acts like non-Newtonian Oobleck. Tachyons aren't sci-fi magic; they're supercharged photons from high-energy brain spikes that travel backward through time.

From industrial foams to volcanic systems, frothy fluids combine gas and liquid in surprisingly complex ways. This study introduces a streamlined model to better understand how these bubbly materials flow and evolve.

Why can some fluids harden under impact?
Researchers tracked millimeter-sized cornstarch droplets hitting a surface and uncovered three distinct impact regimes, including a surprising liquid-to-solid transition during spreading.

From ketchup to quicksand, non-Newtonian fluids have long fascinated and puzzled scientists. Unlike ordinary fluids, their flow properties change depending on how much force is applied, but the precise mechanics governing this behavior remain poorly understood—particularly under rapid deformation. Now, a team led by Xiang Cheng at the University of Minnesota has used droplet impacts to probe these dynamics in new detail, uncovering behaviors which have eluded physicists so far. Their findings appear in Physical Review Letters.
6 months goes quickly - time for #Oil #service on #VW #GolfGTI with #EA888 engine
Completed with 0 major hassles - didn't spill any major amount of used oil in yard this time round, and #BGS funnel attachment (72214) is a gamechanger, fits directly in place of oil filler cap rather than having to hold funnel with thin end over opening in one hand and oil container in the other.
Was even able to pour oil in near perfect stream without splashing like my dad used to in 1970s/80s - to be fair he did have a bit more practice, not only did cars need 3 month oil changes back then, he also worked for #Castrol in research labs testing #rheology so was dealing with the stuff every day 😁

A cornstarch-water droplet can behave like a liquid and a solid at the same time, depending on how it is stressed.
High-speed imaging reveals how these “oobleck” drops reshape on impact, highlighting the surprising physics of shear-thickening fluids.

Liquids are usually expected to flow continuously. But under strong extensional stress, viscosity alone can trigger sudden, fracture-like failure.
Could this help control flows in hydraulics, 3D printing, or even blood vessels?

In a development that could shift our basic understanding of fluid mechanics, researchers from Drexel University have reported that, given the right circumstances, it is possible to induce a simple liquid to fracture like a solid object. Recently published in the journal Physical Review Letters, the research shows how viscous liquids can suddenly break if stretched with enough force.
How do we model fluids that behave partly like solids?
A physics-based Maxwell model with variable parameters improves the description of viscoelastic flows where material properties change during deformation.
