Wow. Those are words of joy to any ice cream lover. Imagine how many kids want to be astronauts now! Just imagine outer space filled with floating chocolate syrup. Reminds me of in The Simpsons when Homer goes into outer space and eats chips in zero gravity! Maybe Nesquik just paid the scientists to say this for advertisement.
Anyway, scientists studying matter of outer space discovered it behaves like a fluid. Following this discovery, the scientists found the viscosity of this matter resembles, yes, chocolate syrup! This approach of looking at the matter like it's a fluid has allowed them to study how this matter has changed over time in response to gravity.
To think of matter in the universe, scientists imagine chocolate syrup in water. The chocolate syrup will mix with the water and even out, but there will still be concentrations of particles in particular areas. Since you can't notice every reaction occurring in this mixture, the reaction is averaged per a given amount. See if you told little kids they could study chocolate syrup if they became an astronomer NASA would be packed!

Besides providing pleasant food fantasies, this new model of the universe can greatly help scientists learn more about the universe. Chemistry is the study of matter, but so much of outer space is unknown. It's just there. By studying this matter like a chocolate syrup substance, scientists may be able to discover how it has changed over time and even its original form. Possibly even what caused the Big Bang! So excuse me while I study chocolate syrup in my lab. And by lab, I mean stomach.
