How SMOOTHNESS of a SOCCER BALL affects curve!
The reverse magnus effect - Curving and bending a ball using the magnus effect is common in soccer, tennis, and baseball. The effect can be reversed though - kick the ball the same way, and it will bend in the opposite direction!

How Fluid Can Climb Upward! SLIME EXPERIMENT
Slime exhibits some crazy unusual properties, like viscoelasticity, because it's a non-newtonian fluid. We can use non-newtonian properties to make the fluid "defy gravity" and climb up a spinning rod. This is called the Weissenberg effect.
