About Milkshakes and Milky Ways

About a month ago, I told my good friend B. Jones that space surely was made like a giant milkshake. "There are no solids", I told her, "just different states of liquids floating around. Some parts are more squishy than others." Of course, she thought that I was full of shit. In fact, she said: "you are full of shit".

Lo and behold, NASA came to the rescue.

Just a few weeks ago, NASA published an article talking about space bubbles, in which they acknowledge that:
 "The Milky Way's disk is like champagne with bubbles all over the place". 
When I told her, B. Jones called me a "genius", albeit in a somewhat sarcastic texting tone.


What is left for NASA to consider, in my opinion, is the possibility of having another "space", to which the bubbles surface, like they do in champagne, or a huge straw from which someone is sucking the clumps out of our milkshake.

In any case, whoever is doing the tasting is surely enjoying a clumpy yummyness.
