Yup. Missed your humor.

virtual particle theory

Did anyone ever notice that one sock from a pair of socks tends to go missing?
Well, studies show that this is a result of the behavior of virtual particle-sock pairs that, when appraoching the horizon line of a black hole, separate. One escapes (hence the static-hawking radiation, predicted by Imparcticle Theory) and the other disappears into another demension within a calibi-yau manifold that exists at the center of the singularity of a black hole. :approve:

how was that?
 
Inertia smertia! Every time I fold laundry, there are atleast 4 socks missing. (They never pair up like they should). There is ENERGY in socks and they have a way of wandering off and never reappearing again.

Yup. See, another believer in the socks energy theory. Perhaps it could be harnessed and supply all of our energy needs. :smile:
 
Imparticle - That was excellent :biggrin:
sandinmyears - you'll find your missing socks along some roadway somewhere... :wink::biggrin:
