What was the point of all of this?
Obviously this is a joke. Everything here and in Fardin’s paper is patently absurd. That said, except for a few instances of clever wordplay and terminology stretched to the breaking point, nothing that Fardin wrote is technically untrue.
The point is that pretending to take the “cats are liquid” meme seriously allows for an entertaining and accessible introduction of many important ideas in continuum mechanics, one of the main parts of modern physics and the foundation of mechanical and civil engineering.
