How Does It Work?
Slime is a non-newtonian fluid, which means it breaks all the rules that Sir Isaac Newton set out about fluids. Slime should be fluid, but it switches from solid to liquid and back again, depending on the way you treat it. For instance, if you sink your fingers in slowly, then the slime wont offer much resistance, and it will feel more like a liquid. But if the impact is stronger and faster then it behaves more like a solid. Try slapping or punching slime, and experience the hard surface.
