Summary of Mark Miodownik's Liquid Rules

#2 The Persian physician and alchemist Rhazes developed special chemical procedures to extract kerosene, a liquid made of carbon-based molecules that looked like twirled spaghetti. It was flammable and produced a smokeless flame. It would take another thousand years for the Persians to discover an alternative source of energy and tax revenue.

#3 The structure of liquids is intermediate between the chaos of gas and the static prison of solids. This allows them to flow and maintain a flame, which is a basic principle of liquids.
