An old question from the 1970s that I never 
figured out.

What governs the speed of flow of an hourglass?

I mean what principle.  What's going on.

It's not viscosity (no transport of x momentum in 
the y direction etc.)

It seems like it's the time it takes something to 
call out of a lockup condition and clear the mess, 
leaving it up to the next lockup condition, but 
what the hell equation is that?
