Fifteen years ago, during New Year's celebrations, the author's cat Tigrou hid from fireworks in an unexpectedly tight space, prompting a discussion on how cats can be perceived as liquid. This phenomenon captured the attention of physicist Marc-Antoine Fardin, who humorously examined the fluid dynamics of cats. His research, which led to winning the Ig Nobel Prize, highlights how cats defy traditional definitions of solids and liquids by maintaining their volume while altering shape, thus blending scientific inquiry with humor.
Cats exhibit surprising fluid-like behavior, as they can fit into small spaces, prompting interesting investigations on their physical properties.
Marc-Antoine Fardin's exploration of feline fluid dynamics humorously combines scientific inquiry with an examination of how cats challenge our perceptions of matter.
The Ig Nobel Prize awarded to Fardin highlights the unique intersection of humor and legitimate scientific research in understanding the properties of cats.
Fardin's work illustrates how cats operate under the principles of fluid dynamics, showcasing their ability to change shape and fit into confined areas.
