Instanton fluid

So, do you know what fluid is? Yes? It's a liquid that can flow, right? Good! Now, imagine a type of fluid that moves really, really fast. This is called an "instanton fluid".

But what does "instanton" mean?

Well, it's actually a mathematical term that describes a very special way of moving. Think of it like doing somersaults or cartwheels. It's a type of movement that happens in really specific, special ways.

Now, picture this instanton fluid moving through space. It's like a river, but instead of water, it's made up of these special movements called instantons. This fluid is really important in physics because it can have a big impact on how particles move and interact with each other.

So, to sum it up: an instanton fluid is a type of super-fast moving liquid made up of these special movements called instantons. It's really important in physics for understanding how particles behave in certain situations.
