Correction. It's turtles all the way down until you reach the end.
I think you missed the point.

Yes, BUT ... what you're not pointing out is that those socks were magically transmitted from another city or country which is where they were lost in the first place. OUR socks get the same treatment and end up elsewhere.
I have never lost a sock. That's something I'm very proud of!

I've lost several shirts and a pair of trousers vanished. But, never a sock .

Statistically close to impossible. Even women lose socks.

There's a lot of stuff that's not known right now and the science community are working on it. It is very interesting and takes a lot text book reading to get anywhere near what they are actually looking at. Some of that community are on here.

It's someone else's socks though. Someone else's feet ..
Well, just throw the feet back.
