A very short post to note that whenever I am cooking pancakes, as I frequently do on Sunday mornings for breakfast, and flip them and watch it start to puff up, I always think about the expanding universe. This happens so routinely that perhaps my thoughts are now along the lines of "here we go again, I can't stop myself thinking about the expanding universe."
That is all.
Update: no it's not. Could it be that some novel scientific thought is trying to tunnel its way into my consciousness through this process? The only thing I can think of is this: the pancake is expanding due to the heat energy of the frying pan it's sitting on. Is our universe's expansion similarly powered by a dark energy seeping into it from an adjacent hot universe? Of course, someone else would already have thought of this: wait, yes, I see someone asked the question on Quora. At least I don't think it's been given much attention as a concept.
