2 months agoI have a PhD in and am a practicing physicist in the field of rheology. I think this is an interesting way to explain viscoelastic materials to people. My go-to example is usually Silly Putty, but cats are something that just about everybody has some experience with.
You have clearly never driven on 93 through Boston where the person you replied to said they are from (aka the Big Dig). It is basically an entire highway that is underneath the city. There are many on and off ramps, lanes suddenly become exit only, complex multi-lane exits that branch…it’s intimidating. As somebody that has lived in the Boston area for 15 years now, I still mess things up.
