Socks always come in a pair, but now, one of them is missing. Set in a household-esque realm where objects float about in mid-air, the televisions shift between static and broadcasting the case of the missing sock. It appears that the rubber ducks are up to no good and that the pair of socks was last seen in the washing machine. *quack* The narrative explores the concept of quantum entanglement between a pair of socks. The laws of this theory suggest that a pair of particles become inseparably entwined, sharing a single physical description that specifies their possible combined states and that both entities maintain the same intertwined state regardless of distance or time. The lost sock is left in a state of superposition, which is having multiple possible outcomes of what might have happened to it, deliberately represented this way for the viewers to imagine for themselves.
