Explaining emotions with physics analogies from @chels.mov
The creator, a biophysics PhD student, explains her theory that grief behaves like a non-Newtonian fluid. She uses the analogy of a chocolate bunny to represent grief, explaining that like chocolate (a Bingham plastic), grief is solid under low stress but melts and spills everywhere when high pressure (like repression or overwork) is applied. She concludes with a hopeful message that the space grief occupies can eventually be filled with new love and includes a call to action to follow her journey as an 'artist scientist'.

Grief is a non Newtonian fluid, and I can explain why. Hi. I'm Chels. I'm a biophysics PhD student and also an artist. Welcome back to my series, the physics of my emotions. Today, we'll be talking about grief, which I have modeled after a chocolate bunny. Grief is such a universal emotion, but it's not inherently a bad one. It just burrows in the chasm in your heart where love used to live. No, all Newtonian fluids have the same viscosity under different amounts of worse, just like better. But
