              WATER’S VISCOSITY IS SET AT A CALCULATED RATE



                  When we say “liquids,” we imagine a highly fluid sub-
              stance. But in reality, liquids’ viscosity rate can vary greatly. For
              instance the viscosity rates of tar, sulfuric acid, glycerol and olive
              oil are very different from one another. When these substances
              are compared with water, this range of differences is more
                    clearly understood: Water is ten billion times more fluid
                       than tar, a thousand times more fluid than glycerol, 100

                              times more fluid than olive oil, and 25 times
                              more fluid than sulfuric acid.
                                             As this comparison demon-
                                        strates, water is a substance of high
                                            viscosity. We can state that it has
                                              the highest viscosity rate of
                                               any liquid, if a few substances

                                                 like ether and liquid hydro-

                                                       discounted.
                                                         Is water’s viscosity
                                                      rate relevant to life?
