The [https://hypertextbook.com/facts/2002/AliciaNoelleJones.shtml density of milk] depends on milkfat and solids-non-fat, which includes lactose. Fortified milk has increased solids-non-fat but the same percentage of milkfat, resulting in increased calories and an increased density. So the fortification of milk results in increased calories, possibly referred to as dark energy, and a contraction, as less space is needed for 1 kg of milk. However, this explanation does not match the expansion suggested in the comic. |
Later Randall again combined dark energy (and also dark matter) with milkfat in [[2216: Percent Milkfat]]. | Later Randall again combined dark energy (and also dark matter) with milkfat in [[2216: Percent Milkfat]]. |
