made soup the other night, recipe called for a little cornstarch to thicken it.
cornstarch and water in the right proportion behaves much the same way. with some regular agitation it becomes more fluid. When left to settle, the first stirring motions reveal a hardened peanut butter consistency, quite solid.
perhaps you've seen the videos where people run across a swimming pool filled with cornstarch and water, but when standing quietly on the surface, they sink.
This is the same liquefaction phenomenon that happens in some earthquakes in some regions that wreaks utter havoc on structures.
