I also discovered that a spoon was missing altogether which I assumed must have passed through the Earth entirely, but several calls to Hong Kong universities failed to uncover the location of the wayward spoon, so this has not as yet been confirmed. Conclusions It has been conclusively demonstrated that the parity of macroparticles is not conserved, and, therefore, socks must come in right-left pairs rather than the single type invariant under reflection operations as was previously supposed. We need to calculate macroparticle tunneling half-lives with a greater degree of accuracy, and we still need a clearer determination of the effects of temperature on macroparticle tunneling. Perhaps most importantly, I still need a grant or a Nobel prize or something, which clearly indicates the need for further research. Notes Interactions of objects and researchers under laboratory conditions bear at best only the most superficial resemblance to their real counterparts.
Socks come in pairs and are much cheaper than shoes.
