Coming Soon 👀 At the beginning of April, you’ll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
What would be really useful would be pre-hole versions of socks that you didn’t lose, but which developed holes, were repurposed as dust rags, and thrown out in 2017.
Further evidence for the hypothesis I advanced yesterday: Half of those lone socks aren’t missing from your own pair, they’ve been teleported in from someone else’s.
If we assign an unique integer to each sock in the universe (of socks), then removing one of them at random may have made the associated metric space incomplete. This means the distortion of the space-time continuum won’t be Hilbert space anymore. Head for the hills!

So that’s where my socks have been disappearing too.

What is most astonishing is . . . THERE’S NO STATIC CLING!!!

With infinite dimensions, I guess that explains everything…

I can’t even remember what state I was living in in 1997!

That’s a pretty impressive dryer. Mine just has a dial and a button.

An infinite-dimensional Hilbert space reference. I like that kind of thing.
Ichabod Ferguson over 2 years ago
Maybe he can pull out Mister Pi.

F Flash predicted this yesterday.
Redd Panda over 2 years ago
Well, that was predictable.
On a technical aside, everyone knows the sox are taken by sox-faeries to build their nests.

Robotman was living with Monty in 1997, although I doubt it’s one of his socks.

Is the Hilbert space reference to a spot in a trailer park?

Whatever happened to the time traveling professor? Maybe he’s in there.

Monty got the socks from The Planet of Left Socks!

Is Hilbert Space like Filbert space? That’s nutty!

Hilbert space is OK but Dilbert space wants THE SOCK back !!!!Ratbert is MAD!!!!

Just climb in and put it on the spin cycle.

Hilbert space is fine, but by removing that sock, I think he disrupted the structure of Dilbert space!

Good explanation as to where those missing socks go though…..

I had two kids plus three of my sister-in-law’s living with us. I remember nothing! ( thank you Sgt. Schultz)

A Hilbert space is a finite area that can be sectioned infinitely.

Thanks to Monty, I now know about Hilbert Space!

Something is rent! —Either the fabric of Time-Space, or the fabric of this 25-year-old sock! Or both….
