Tortured Souls Swimming - Cornstarch and Water

From ye olde Wikipedia: "A non-Newtonian fluid is a fluid which cannot be described by a single constant viscosity. Most commonly, the viscosity changes with the applied shear stress."

Cornstarch and water is probably the simplest non-Newtonian fluid.

It is a bit pretentious sounding, though. Just call it cornstarch...

I like this post, but I think as well the explanation of this being any sort of anti-gravity effect is null and void. This is simple fluid dynamics with a bit of the effect we see in a non-newtonian substance sitting on a speaker. It is possible the bottle is filled with a syrup like substance to help promote the effect of fluid shaping caused by a harmonic frequency. I can't explain the full effect of the spheres without consulting my dynamics books but I'm guessing it's a frequency/resonance effect going on here. I would be very skeptic of any anti-gravity/planetary effect here.
