Can anyone answer this in a technical scientific way??

No....but I "think" it is because the structure of the tissue is less dense/ less tightly structured/higher volume of fluid, then muscle or bone so that it is more "influenced" by the energy of movement. I think that is the purpose of girdles and bras...to tightly pack the lose tissue in a firmer structure inhibiting the "energys" of movements influence on it....or something like that.

| I think fat is actually less dense than muscle, but it has the consistency of jello, and we all know jello jiggles quite well. |

I'm no scientist, but...
Musculature is more tightly attached to bone (by tendons, sinews, joints), strecthing across from one body part to the next. Fat seems kinda' like loose stuffing, with little (or weak) connective tissue that would adhere it closer to body core.
Fat sags, follows gravity, and behaves more like liquid (seems inherently shapeless, formless, though it certainly takes up space). Muscles seem relatively solid (less "free-flowing"), even when not exercised.
Have anatomy books, but not sure if I'm paraphrasing properly: Muscles are made up of bundled fibers that interlock tightly with each other. Fat consists of roundish globules that wobble around body's surface & are more pliable (stretch further, but don't always snap back afterwards)-plus they provide cushy pads to prevent one's parts from hurting one another. They're different because they perform different functions-muscle wouldn't be very soft material to absorb impacts & protect vulnerable innards from sharp edges. Sorry, I'm rambling...

That's interesting
