Science expert Dan Souza reveals the science behind non-Newtonian fluids.
ABOUT US: Located in Boston’s Seaport District in the historic Innovation and Design Building, America’s Test Kitchen features 15,000 square feet of kitchen space including multiple photography and video studios. It is the home of Cook’s Illustrated magazine and Cook’s Country magazine and is the workday destination for more than 60 test cooks, editors, and cookware specialists. Our mission is to test recipes over and over again until we understand how and why they work and until we arrive at the best version.

IS THAT GUY OK?
joe: 🕴🏻

You say “fluids” like there are many…. but all I have ever seen is just corn starch and water.
Not exactly what Newton meant
Fun Dan. Thanks, Always great information.
Did you keep a straight face when you told Joe to stop running, or did you have to reshoot it? Also. Dan, who let you do this? 😂
Alton Brown: Let me talk to you about the science of cooking
Dan Souza: Hold my beer
When Joe was falling into the liquid he just had the same face almost the whole time lmao. It was like an action figure. 🤣🤣🤣😭😭
Cooking and physics, two of my hobbies, together in one video? Yes, please!
I was getting a little concerned we wouldn't see Joe again after 0:23 !
F in the chat for Joe
I feel conflicted that you didnt show us what happened to joe OnO
So I received a reply to my post expressing worry from "Joe". I won't rest though until I see Joe getting out of that vat, maybe doing a test on (with) Dan..? Let the real Joe rise…err step forward.
This is positively Shakespearean!
Sherlock Holmes, eat your heart out! But do NOT STOP RUNNING! HAHA!!!
I wish you had gone more in depth about the science behind it. How and why the applied force changes the state of matter in an animated clip like you do on ATK when you explain proteins and moisture retention, etc, you know?
I want to know if you drew straws to see who got to play in the cornstrach?
How do 500 gallons of udon noodles behave when stomped upon?
Where’s the science Dan! You’re letting me down here but I guess this isn’t “what’s eating Dan”.
nooooooooo, joooooooooooo
Did he actually sink, or was it CGI?? There's no liquid displacement- is variable density (my expression, no idea if it's scientific terminology) another quality of the cornstarch and water? What is the science?
So we no longer have Big Bang Theory to watch and yet we now have a new "Professor Proton". Do more,do more. And of course always more Dan. You might add a disclaimer that no Joe's were injured or killed while making this video.
Joe! Joe! Are you okay??
Hahahaha, LOVE IT! Thanks Dan n' crew!
We definitely need to see the process of getting Joe out.
This is my new favorite YouTube video. The nonchalance with which they made 500 gallons of oobleck just as a side gag is amazing.
Hmm… I think I get it but could use a longer demonstration. Who else can we sacrifice?
Just out of curiosity.. How much corn starch did you use? :p
That was great
The unwavering commitment to the totally unnecessary bit was amazing. RIP Joe, your sacrifice for a simple demonstration taken to extremes and our resulting raucous laughter will be remembered always.
These are so much fun. Good information
So are we gonna see the video of you taking him out of the cornstarch? =D
Love it! I used to make "magic mud" for my kids to play with in the summer. We put it on a cookie sheet, and they enjoyed manipulating it from solid to liquid for hours. It's how they learned the term "thixotropic".
Bahahaha
Ah!!! Physics.
If only I had watched this video yesterday I could have saved myself the embarrassment of getting trapped in a giant pond of ooblek.
