Gravity’s a funny thing. We know it works because we stay grounded. But we don’t know exactly how it works. Lisa Randall has a robust theory using open loop strings and closed loops. Extra gravity leaks into higher dimensions, giving our 3 dimensions the perfect amount of gravity. This unifies gravity with other forces, all of which are just different varieties of one underlying energy (spoiler alert: it’s called love). You could also say that a vortex is involved, opening up into higher dimensions. And since washing machines and dryers spin at the frequencies they do, they create vortices, so all of the missing socks are being leaked into higher dimensions, maybe even being pulled in by the extra gravity there. Makes ya think…
