There is a big difference between a fine powder that flows *like* water
and a fluid - intermolecular forces. You can grind or ball-mill a
metal all you want, at the end of the day you'll still have a metal
powder. No matter how much you refine the particle size, you'll never
get forces that emulate the hydrogen bonds between water molecules.
THAT is the difference between a fine particle distribution and a true
fluid. Blow air on the surface of water, and you get ripples on the
surface. Blow air across a pile of soot, and you'll have a room
covered with black powder.
