Talk:Solid Liquid

As much as I love and endorse the explanation of how Purple Pikmin are the only types that affect the Waterwraith, I don't think you used the right term. Colloids are just a solution that you can see the particles in. For example, salt water vs. milk; Salt ions cannot be seen in water, so that is not a colloid. Milk proteins can be seen in water, so it is a colloid. A more appropriate term would be Dilatant, which describes a material that has a low viscosity with little stress on it and high viscosity with high stress. This allows lighter pikmin to bounce off, but heaver pikmin, no less ground-pounding ones, to hurt it.

Also, just because I have to say it, ice is a solid form of water. --Yoshord 15:02, August 3, 2010 (UTC)

Just to add to the confusion, all things are matter. Matter can be in three forms: solid, liquid, and gas. These are different forms of the same matter, so it seems impossible for the matter to be a solid liquid.
