We can all tell liquid from solid right? If it flows then it is water if it stays still when touched it's solid. So you probably wouldn't believe me if I told you their is a soliquid that breaks the laws of a solid and a liquid. Non-Newtonian fluid is everyday items like blood, shampoo, ketchup, toothpaste, paint, cornstarch water, and many other things. The main thing is the viscosity, which can be super thick liquid or a forgiving solid.
The Discovery channel performed an experiment that explains how a non-Newtonian fluid acts when a large enough force is used on it. They basically said that the particles do not have time to move around so they are able to support the weight of whatever is thrown at it.
