I live in a house that used to belong to one of Julia Child’s best friends. She was here a lot- it was the test kitchen for a cooking magazine; her friend was editor. Sometimes, and I mean this as a physicist and atheist, I can feel her when I cook; she holds me to a standard. ❤️

She helps me do this. /end

My approximately spherical protobaguettes are expanding at 2.07±0.11 cm/h which to an observer yeast cell in the center looks like 1.035±0.05cm/h representing a redshift of 9.59x10^(-15) … if she could see the surface. One needed calculation is c inside bread dough.
Yes I used calipers to take these data and yes the error is calculated.
One Interesting Thought is that our yeast cosmodoughlogist would notice non-uniform expansion because of the local gravitational field, and lots of other noise due to varying dough density and nutrients, temperature variation, and cerera. Also…
