We discuss two main universal dynamic crossovers in a liquid that correspond to relaxation times of 1 ps and 10−7−10−6 s. We introduce the concept of liquid elasticity length del. At room temperature, del is several \AA in water and increases to 0.01 mm in honey and 1 mm in tar. We show that on temperature decrease, del crosses the fundamental lengths of the system, medium-range order dm and system size L. We discuss how del=dm and del=L correspond to the two dynamic crossovers.
