Melting

Tue Sep 19, 2006, 10:29 PM
What if the world were to melt today? Not like the polar ice caps melting, not just something turning from liquid to solid, more going from a state of solidity, to a state of liquidity. The world around you just started to slowly seep downward and mix with itself like a Dali clock. What would that mean, where would we go and what would happen next? If the world melted why wouldn't we just stand there and sink, what would keep us boyant and above the rest of the world, or would we just melt too? Would we combine with the world and become part of it's liquid existance? Is the world melting now?

That all depends on the viscosity and compressibility of the liquid. Also, are we assuming laminar or turbulent flow of the material? The solid Earth that we know right now rotates, and angular momentum is conserved, so if everything somehow liquified instantly, there would be some serious fluid dynamics going on that would prevent everything from just sinking downward instantly. Even so, you probably can't consider gravity to be negligible... Mind if I grab my calculator real quick?
