Milk, I learned in science class is just small beads of oil suspended in water. I was fine with this at the time, but at some point it began to really bug me because in my mom's basement is a box of dehydrated skim milk.
Well I'm no mathematician, but I think if you take water + oil and then you subtract the water and subtract the fat you should be left with nothing.
Actually, I lied. I am a mathematician and I know this to be true: x+y-x-y=0. Unless milk lives in some noncommutative universe of cooking ingredients! Maybe that's it and I am just using the wrong operation. If you think about how they blend it really seems more like multiplication anyhow. We just need to account for the fact that volume is additive in this situation and... and...
We still live in the real world.
It should have been a box of air.
