It's true, since the dawn of time, a convention on the fall of toast in our society has not been eluded. Why do they always fall on the same side ? Who drops these toasts ? Who is behind these wasters of buttered toast ? Assassin ? Psychopath ? Wasteful ? We come across these people in everyday life, free from their actions, devoid of impunity. How far will these shameless toast jets go ?
Some enlightened people speak of a Murphy's law developed not by Eddy Murphy (the lovely voice of the donkey in Shrek 1,2,3 and 4) nor by Cillian Murphy the actor (often confused with a sunfish) of Peaky Blinders but in fact by the famous Edward Murphy, an aerospace engineer. Being an empirical law nicknamed "the law of maximum pain". To compensate for this grotesque and vulgar nickname, this law defines
"everything that is likely to go wrong, will necessarily go wrong."
Robert Matthews, member of the Royal Astronomical Society and the Royal Statistical Society (equivalent of INSEE), received the 1996 Ignobel Prize for a study on the subject. According to him, the toast falls on the buttered side because of the fundamental constants of the Universe.
"The toast that fall from the breakfast table crashes to the ground on the buttered side only because the universe is so designed".
From this scientific reasoning we can conclude that for Matthews if the latter faces a complex problem he will solve it by the astrophysical formula TIWCDN also called "that's it we can do nothing".
The height of the table is the suspect number one on the toast scenes. In 2001, the scientist did it again and supported his demonstration with the facts. During an experiment organised by him in England (country of marmalade), out of 9,821 tossed toast, 6,101 fell on the buttered side, a rate of 62%.
Even if the shape of the toast and the way it leaves the table come into play, in most cases, the height of the table is decisive in this failed landing. According to the famous law of gravity, in its rotation caused by the fall, the buttered toast has just enough time for a about-turn before touching the ground. Proof of this is, on more than 2,000 tumbles approximately 94,4882 inch, the slice of bread landed fewer times on the buttered side than by falling from a traditional table (47%).
In the future, to solve this problem which slows down the evolution of modern society, human beings must eat on 94,4882 inch tables.
