Quantum Compass Adjacent Theory (QCAT)
Developed by renowned physicist, Dr. Reginald P. Bottomsworth, QCAT is a groundbreaking theory that explains why your socks always seem to go missing in the wash cycle.
QCAT posits that the fabric of space-time is woven with an infinite array of tiny, invisible socks that can travel through dimensions and into alternate realities.
But that's not all, folks! QCAT also predicts the imminent collapse of the universe due to an overabundance of poorly made sock puppets.
