Mechanics of gelation distinction between a sol (solution) and a gel therefore appears to be understood in a manner analogous to the practical distinction between the elastic and plastic deformation ranges of a metal. The distinction lies in the ability to respond to an applied shear force via macroscopic viscous flow. In a dynamic sense, the response of a gel to an alternating force (oscillation or vibration) will depend upon the period or frequency of vibration. As indicated here, even most simple liquids will exhibit some elastic response at shear rates or frequencies exceeding 5 x 10 cycles per second. Experiments on such
What a Time to Be Alive debuted at number one on the US "Billboard" 200, with 375,000 album-equivalent units; it sold 334,000 copies in its first week, with the remainder of its unit count representing the album's streaming activity and track sales during the tracking week. It became both Drake and Future's second albums to chart at number one on the "Billboard" 200 in 2015 ("If You're Reading This It's Too Late" and "DS2", respectively). In its second week it sold 65,000 copies. As of January 27, 2016, "What a Time to Be Alive" has sold 519,000 copies in the United States. The album was certified
