Love oobleck - really neat stuff.

From the article, it seems that what’s described is slightly different. While oobleck requires certain stimulation to achieve its states (standing still on Oobleck, you will sink; walking across oobleck, you’ll be fine) the potassium contraption described chemically appears to be a solid but is also actually melting.

Forgive me if I didn’t do a good job describing, but I felt the difference was worth pointing out. Perhaps it would be fair too to say that the potassium did require a little prodding at 20,000 an increase in pressure to that of earth.
