Real solid liquid

Sometimes the best things are a result of a scientific accident. Silly Putty is one such invention. Scientists during WWII were looking for a rubber substitute and ended up with this crazy fun substance. Silly Putty is known as the "real solid liquid" because it's a non-Newtonian fluid. To put it simply, a non-Newtonian fluid isn't held to one standard of viscosity. It does its own thing. Silly Putty can bounce, break if you smash it, flow like a liquid, and even dissolve into a puddle after a long, long, long wait.

Here are some more fun facts:

  • Apollo astronauts used Silly Putty to secure their tools in space.
  • Therapist recommend Silly Putty as a stress-relief tool.
  • Pro athletes use Silly Putty to strengthen their grip
  • Burning Silly Putty produces a bright white flame.
  • Silly Putty can transfer newspaper images onto other surfaces, but it was better back in the day when inks were petroleum based.
  • Silly Putty dissolves in alcohol. Once the alcohol evaporates, Silly Putty is forever changed.
  • If you get Silly Putty in your hair (don't!), you can use WD-40 to remove it.
  • You can earn a Master of Silly Putty degree (MSP) on Silly Putty's website.
