Five Scientific Laws
and how they apply to Real Life
1. In any field of endeavor, anything
    that can go wrong will go wrong.

2. Left to themselves things will
    always go from bad to worse.

3. If several things can go wrong, the one that will
    go wrong is the one that will cause the most damage.

4. Nature always sides with the hidden flaw.

5. If everything seems to be going well,
    you have obviously overlooked something.
This month RadioWCPR staff members took the studio into laboratory mode with an interesting look at life from the world of science. We found five natural laws that boil down to a principle that affects millions daily.

It seems that small personal items tend to disappear when we most need them, and humans have traditionally blamed one another for misplacing them. Now we can apply a new principle known as "the Law of Entropy" to explain the unfortunate tendency.

It is clear that if Entropy were controlled, we would in fact stop losing things. We have reports that DuPont Inc. is working on a non-Entropy spray for personal items, but the new product has not been approved for home use. Meanwhile, we can minimize this dangerous problem by becoming informed and using extreme caution around small personal items. In the absense of some current remedy, consider the following.
We publish this interesting law because it appears to apply to real life situations, and it explains our continual need to look for things. RadioWCPR used surveillance cameras to observe the movement of inanimate objects in the home. Now for the first time, we have video tape evidence of items such as eyeglasses and keys that waited until no one was looking to move to discreet locations where they were difficult to identify. If their owners became preoccupied and ceased putting them back in order, the movement continued until important small items became impossible to find. Thus everyday life is explained by scientific law.

Unfortunately, developing a remedy for this phenomenon will be difficult. The earth's abundance started in chaos and strives to return to its natural chaotic state. The tendency is so strong that it might occur even in your presence. Even under the eye of a trained observer, essential items can disappear from where expected and reappear somewhere they are not needed or looked for.

To make matters worse, the propensity to mysterious disappearance is directly proportional to the urgency with which items are needed. What's even worse, the frequency and severity of this chaos seems to increase with the level of intelligence in its human victim.

But at least we can report that your kids did not hide your stuff; rather you may simply have stopped organizing it. The Law of Entropy derived from Five Scientific Laws now provides at least an explanation.

These five laws are summed up in the general scientific principle known as the Law of Entropy, as follows:
