Unwritten laws of physics

Everyone is familiar with the laws of physics as they stand, “for every action here is an equal and opposite reaction,” and so forth, but few realize there are some lesser known unwritten laws. These laws haven’t been studied as they only come off as minor inconveniences where as, say gravity, can be a major problem when slipping from a high branch in a tree. For that reason they don’t merit the large government grants and countless hours of study garnered by the major laws of the universe, but deserve some mention, if even in a foot note.

The unwritten law examined here is the one that states “small spaces attract the greatest mass.” I think I may lay claim to be the one to discover this phenomena or at least the first to make note of the law. To be sure, we all have been affected by it at one time or another, just haven’t taken the time to define it and put it in the form of a physical law. This is still in the theoretical stage, but the proof is all around us. Particularly in the small kitchen here at The Tiny House.

Right around the time for food preparation I enter the kitchen and begin planning out the dinner and gathering what I need. It is during this stage that suddenly everyone in the house is attracted to the very same small space, blocking the very resources I need. This isn’t an occasional happening, even when just standing in the kitchen it will quickly fill as if there is some irresistible force of attraction. I know it can’t be startlingly good looks or sparkling personality causing the crowded conditions. To be sure the huskies know I do most of the cooking and am most likely to have food out when I am in the kitchen, but that doesn’t explain the adults and kids. So the unwritten physical law that small spaces attract the most mass does indeed hold true.
