For our purposes, slime will be defined
as any non-Newtonian fluid. If this term
sounds hopelessly technical, please read on—
it is actually quite simple to understand! To
understand what this term means, it is important
to examine the theories of Isaac Newton
(1642–1727), one of the greatest scientists
who ever lived. He made many revolutionary
discoveries in the fields of mathematics,
motion, and gravity. But he also did a lot of
work with fluids.
