SUMMARY
Frictionless surfaces do exist in the form of superfluids, which exhibit zero viscosity and allow for frictionless flow. Specifically, helium-3 is highlighted as a notable example of a superfluid that demonstrates these properties. The discussion references multiple resources, including articles from AIP and educational sites that delve into the physics of superfluidity. Understanding superfluidity is essential for grasping the concept of frictionless surfaces in physics.
PREREQUISITES- Basic understanding of fluid dynamics
- Familiarity with the properties of superfluids
- Knowledge of quantum mechanics principles
- Awareness of helium-3 and its unique characteristics
