Time Slime Research Paper

In the beginning of Time Slime

Our story goes back tens, of thousands, of days ago. Back to around 1976. It was the disco era, so obviously there were bright colors, frizzy hair, and all sorts of atrocious stuff. Of course, there had to be slime in the mix. The gross green goo was first introduced by the company Mattel. Yes, they did also make Barbie, but we know that she would never touch slime. It was green, cold, and very sticky. Once you were done stretching and squeezing, you would return it to it’s “trash can”. Of course, other brands had to contribute to the generation of goo, so they did. In the 80’s, there was “Hordak’s Horde Slime Pit” from the Masters of the Universe. To my knowledge, this game is violent and confusing. But Kenner, another toy company, made the “Real Ghostbusters” toy line. The literal slime was called Ecto-Plazm Play Gel. Originally purple and pink, the brand eventually added the primary colors to the line.
Some of the current ones are Flarp Noise Putty, Silly Putty, and an abundance of others. Still, what is it?

Science-- or Should I Say SLIMEnce? No, no I should not. Essentially, by combining guar gum and borax you can create slime. If that’s all you want to know, that’s okay. Usually, these names are not found on packaging, but by their scientific names. Guar gum is also known as polysaccharide, and borax is called sodium borate. This is why some people use eye drops as part of their slime solution. Eyedrops have sodium borate, which when mixed with glue (and occasionally baking soda) creates slime! The other option is borax, which can every so often be harmful when touched in powder form. There is much more about this, but it can get extremely confusing, so I’ll just stick to that. Slime is a non-Newtonian fluid. Unless you are obsessed with science, you probably don’t know
