Question -
what is the heaviest non-flamable, non-tixic liquid?
Answer -
THe are no liquids known that are "non-toxic". Everything has toxicity. By "nearly non-toxic", water is about the only choice.
ok, but do u think that a paste of somesort or maybe a solution?
Pastes and solutions are not liquids. They can have liquid properties, but the term liquid usually refers to a homogeneous chemical.
If we get off the toxic questions, mercury is a choice, you can have solutions that have densities of twice that of water, and you can make a paste of almost any density.
If you are just looking for something dense that has some liquid properties, try sugar water or oatmeal.
