Plant life was struggling to survive on earth with an excess of pollution, and in 2032 there were three hundred giant Terrariums, some camouflaged as planets, each full of every life form on earth except for humans, sent into space.

If the universe is already infinite, what is it growing into?
You place the dough in a pan to bake a loaf of bread or a batch of muffins. The dough expands into the baking pan while it bakes in the oven. The expansion of the muffin batter causes any blueberries or chocolate chips to become further separated from one another.
