Quantum Fluctuations are tiny, random changes in the quantum state of a system. They're like the universe's equivalent of a coin flip, but instead of two outcomes, you get a gazillion possibilities.
Think of it like this: you're at a restaurant, and the waiter just spilled soup on your shirt. That's not a Quantum Fluctuation, but if the soup had just suddenly and randomly decided to change its molecular structure and reform into a perfectly good-looking pizza, that's a Quantum Fluctuation.
We're not really sure why they happen, but our best guess is that it's because of the inherent unpredictability of quantum mechanics. It's like trying to predict when a cat will decide to be your friend or not.
Well, you might not care, but we do. Because, you see, these tiny changes can sometimes add up to big, observable effects. Like the time your socks just decided to switch places while you were watching.
First, take a deep breath. Then, try not to think about them too much. If that doesn't work, consider wearing a watch with a built-in quantum stabilizer. It's a real thing. We swear.
Don't worry, we're working on a solution. In the meantime, try wearing your socks on a different day.

We're not saying it's definitely your cat's fault, but... actually, we're saying that. It's definitely your cat's fault. Sorry, cat.
