# Material with very small Young's modulus

I'm looking for a material with a Young's modulus of less than 100 Pa. I've looked at elastomers, but I haven't had any luck.

Another simple thought experiment will convince you of how unreasonable such a material is. The change in altitude required to change the pressure by 100 Pa is 10 meters which is about 3 building stories. Since Young's modulus is defined by $$\frac{\Delta \ell}{\ell}=\frac{P}{E},$$ where $E$ is Young's modulus, the strain on your material would be 1 if you carried it from the top of a 3 story building to the ground floor. This means that the material would compress to nothing from such a minor change in elevation. Real materials would, of course, be well into the non-linear regime at that point.
