Title: How do I launder the fabric of space/time?
Post by: cheryl j on 26/03/2013 03:38:53
Should I use the gentle cycle or permanent press? Will it shrink if I leave it in the dryer too long?

It will shrink if the dryer rotates at close to the speed of light.

When ironing anything made from space-time, you need an iron that removes all mass, including dark matter. Any mass will just cause creasing.

There's an awful lot of quantum foam in the bottom of my washer. I probably should have taken the fabric of space-time to the laundromat and used one of those really big machines.

It seems to be made of some stretchy fabric. Does this require a special cycle?

Next time try to avoid the "Planck" brand of washing machine.

I added some bleach and it got rid of some of the dark matter, but I was afraid if I used too much, the fabric of space-time would unravel and I'd end up with a bunch of strings.

No problem, strings are always connected to branes.

Saul Perlmutter thinks the elastic is failing, and the waistline is getting looser.

Ahh Cheryl, will you then, at last, reveal your real name?
And it must be one big laundry machine, thinking of it.

You take it to a Casino, and put it all on Red. Then cash in.. nobody will know.

Permant press. Also, don't forget the fabric softener. :)

I find no matter how delicate the cycle is, I always get those pesky 11 dimensional knots in it. (or is it up to 12 now?) [???]

Recent results from Planck (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_spacecraft#2013_data_release) suggest that this fabric is a bit older than previously believed...

I hope it doesn't start fraying around the edges..

I can never find the edges. Which makes folding it a challenge.

Planck washing machines recommend Planck washing powder to hopefully avoid those singularities forming in the fabric.

Euclid raised a question about the fabric of spacetime: Assuming the individual threads can be extended indefinitely in a straight line...
Maybe this is just retribution for all those who washed out of Euclidean Geometry?

Remember to wash your red shifts separately!
