  • Incredible. So what accounts for the scientific result of bubbly liquidiy sand? Well, apparently the process is called “Liquiefication” — and it involves the use of air molecules to transform. We love it. We love all cool science. What can we do with this all next? Could we cause a sand castle to melt? Could we trap our enemies as long as our enemies are on the beach and we have a machine capable of providing a lot of air very quickly? We must be careful with such power. In the wrong hands— why — it could be a dangerous thing, it could!
