Quantum & Socks
If you are interested in Quantum Theory
and wear socks then this link is for you.
Did Einstein wear socks?
Or is that just an Urban Myth?
Heisenberg may have worn them.
Philosophers
have long wondered why socks have this habit of getting lost, and why humans always
end up with large collections of unmatched odd socks.
One school of
thought says that socks are very antisocial creatures, and have a deep sense of
rivalry. In particular, two socks of the same design have feelings of loathing
towards each other and hence it is nearly impossible to pair them (e.g. a blue
sock will usually be found nestling up to a black one, rather than its fellow
blue sock)
On the other hand, quantum theorists explain it all by a generalized exclusion
principle - it is impossible for two socks to be in the same state, and when it
is in danger of happening, one of the socks has to vanish.
Indeed the
Uncertainty Principle (Heisenberg may have thought of this) also comes in - the
only time you know where a sock is, is when you are wearing it, and hence
unable to be sure exactly how fast it is moving.
The moment you
stop moving and look at your sock, it then starts falling to pieces, changing
color, or otherwise becoming indeterminate. (Some mothers may recognize this in
socks worn by their adolescent sons)
Either way, socks may possess Color and Strangeness, but they seem to lack
Charm.
