The final panel is an extended series of puns--that yeast rises, for one (implicitly of a spontaneously generated energy, a reference to black body radiation); a second soon follows about spacetime having unleavened dimensions in {{w|string theory}}. This seems to be a punning reference to spacetime having eleven (actually, ten--M theory says eleven) dimensions in string theory, while continuing to play on the theme of yeast--in this case, the universe is presumably flat because some of its dimensions lack the Planck yeast that would make them rise. |
