Ever wonder why all those socks are missing their mate? My latest conjecture
was the dryer was the culprit. I theorized dryers could somehow become
Alcubierre drives, transporting the socks light years away
never to be seen again. (why do you think they make them 220V?) The Alcubierre
metric is a Lorentzian manifold and in flat space-time allows a warp bubble to
occur and and effectively move away at speeds >c.
Marnie scoffed and asserted this was preposterous as it likely violated energy
conditions and may require exotic matter. Then she sent me a link as proof of
my idiocy and all was revealed:

Drat, humiliated again by felines, Mike
