The Persistence of Feline

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

As proven in this 2017 paper that was awarded an Ig-Nobel prize.

EDIT: Aw crap, sorry for the broken link. Quote from the source:

PHYSICS PRIZE [FRANCE, SINGAPORE, USA] — Marc-Antoine Fardin, for using fluid dynamics to probe the question “Can a Cat Be Both a Solid and a Liquid?”

REFERENCE: “On the Rheology of Cats,” Marc-Antoine Fardin, Rheology Bulletin, vol. 83, 2, July 2014, pp. 16-17 and 30. (https://improbable.com/ig/winners/?amp=1#ig2017)

Hm? It's blank and uBlock treat it as about:blank?

It seems to be a blank page that starts the download of the pdf article (in another target, in a pop-up, or something like that - I didn't look at the source). Something on your browser blocked the download.
