In our washing machine at home, a peculiar type of physics prevails — the case of the missing socks.
Somehow, despite careful pairings, a sock often disappears into the void of the machine. Where do they go? Are there secret sock dimensions?
I favour the theory of Mismatched Pairs Entanglement, imagining a parallel sock universe where lone socks embark on adventures. Perhaps, in this sock quantum world, there’s the sock equivalent of the Uncertainty Principle, or maybe two socks can’t occupy the same space in the washing machine at the same time? I think Brian Cox should be told!
