On the Rheology of Cats
TL;DR — A physicist asks, with real rheology equations, whether cats are liquids — they fill the container they sit in, given time. Won the 2017 Ig Nobel Prize in Physics.
How much weight it carries: A genuine but tongue-in-cheek three-page paper in the Rheology Bulletin. The physics is real; the purpose is a joke.
