&gt;&gt; Try making some "goop" at home.  Get some cornstarch and mix in some
water,
&gt;&gt; when you squeeze it it feels solid.  If you leave it alone, it turns to a
&gt;&gt; runny liquid.  Neat stuff. 8')
&gt;
&gt;Sounds like silicon putty.  Details are something like: Leave it alone and
&gt;it'll form into a ball, place it on a slope and it'll run like a liquid,
&gt;hit it with a hammer and it'll shatter.

See "oobleck" in the Jargon file or the Hacker's Dictionary.

It might be amusing to call this sort of physics driver a quantum
bogodynamics engine. ;)
