I just got this idea; A non-newtonian fluid is a fluid that is both a solid and liquid. (It's real) If you hit it; it becomes a solid. If you poke it slowly; it would become a liquid. So how about this; A liquid that if you hit (Via hand or weapond or ect) It would turn into a hard brick for a second. Or maybe redstone could also activate it. Then if nothing touches it; or it is slowly touched; it would be a liquid. Any Ideas? It would be thick like lava.
What's the purpose of it? And what sort of liquids would these be, and where would you find them?
Personally I'd just like to see a better liquid system all around before we start bringing strange otherworldly liquids that don't conform to my pre-notions of physics.
I think the author means something along the lines of oobleck. Oobleck is a "thing" that is solid if an object moves quickly over it, and is a "liquid" if you move slowly across it.

But not both simultaneously...
Sounds interesting though. But as to its place in the world...
Feel free to use Google to find more info on Non-Newtonians. It would be a combination of sand and water; Quick sand is a type of non-newtonian. Or maybe it would be powder and water. So what it could be used for is traps; or ways to keep mobs out. When you hit the fluid; the block that you hit would become a solid for a moment; then liquidize again. If you move slowly threw it; it acts like a thick liquid; like lava. (With out the damage part) If you move fastly threw it; it becomes solid for 2 seconds. Something like that at least. Here's the craft recipe. Oh; you'll need a bucket too.

Oobleck is a non-newtonian fluid. I guess non of you have used google Like I said. Google it. It's real.
technically, what we call solid is just liquid that is so cold it cannot move...
and gases are liquids so heated as to be dispersed and float :tongue.gif:
so yeah, technically, it is impossible, but by default, not logic.
I don't know, I just don't see a use for it. It be like ice where if it's in a cold climate it is a sinlge block then in a warm climate it could turn into a small spring that disappears after a few days. This could work well if Notch implements seasons.
As I said before; traps or keeping mobs out. It would be like a new door almost; only very slow mobs would be able to get past it. Fast mobs like spiders would trigger it into solid effect; and wouldn't be able to get in. Traps would be big with this new material.

Impossible.

No it's very possible
It is possible.
Anyway, support.
