Hmmm... not sure "provides evidence that the universe will expand forever" really becomes "proof that universe will expand forever."

Maybe on slashdot it would.

Still an interesting read. Those pictures are crazy addictive!

Mayonnaise and tomato sauce are my favourite types of "Non Newtonian fluids" ~ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Newtonian_fluid
