Maybe this should go to the Chem E section. However, the principle demands a wider audience. So here.

Non Newtonian fluids have a force/viscosity relationship. Higher the applied force greater the viscosity.

Quote: The minds behind the Hard Science YouTube channel have given us a crash course in the exciting world of non-Newtonian fluids in the most awesome way possible—by biking across a pool of cornstarch that is, at once, both solid and liquid. Endquote

Have fun.
