日前，英國伯明翰的阿斯頓大學物理學家們不關注和跟蹤宇宙大爆炸起源的問題，而是解決糾結的耳機線纏繞這一實際的問題。
 

       據每日郵報報道，馬休斯研究了“墨菲定律字符串“來解釋耳機配戴者無處不在這一現象。而且，令人驚訝的是，物理學家宣稱他想出一個可行辦法，消除我們所知道的潛在的耳機線纏繞問題。
 

       經過一些實驗，馬休斯和他的學生們想到在兩個點別住耳機線：三電線一起靠近音頻插孔和兩個耳塞及兩個耳塞電線，然后更遠的電線（見下圖）。
 

 

       “簡單地夾在一起的連接的兩端的電纜不可能形成一個結，以防解開它之前，纏在一起，”馬休斯闡述該研究小組的結果。
 

       “這全是關于使用硬科學來解決日常問題。” 雖然這可能是我們聽過的一個科學家把他的手在耳機線纏結的問題涉足的第一時間，這當然是不能想出一個解決這個問題的第一次嘗試。
 

       耳機有幾條上架的自稱是“免費注冊”。但是，Zipbuds和JAYS一樣，許多這些產品由笨重的電纜或怪異的包裝裝置建立。蘋果的老白耳式耳機及其全新EarPods仍然是一些最無所不在的齒輪，聽音樂的人，但沒有纏結自由技術的建立。由節拍的耳機，而蘋果剛剛購買的特征，無纏結電纜，所以蘋果EarPods將會在未來有一個懸蕩的升級。
 

       現在，這就是舉世聞名的天才物理學家，在學術成功和辛勤工作多年，最后要通過商標5美元一件的塑料制品而發家？

       The physicist’s recent work out of Aston University in Birmingham, England, wasn’t concerned with tracing the origins of the Big Bang, but instead tackling the more immediate problem of tangled headphone cords.
 

       According to the Daily Mail, Matthews investigated “Murphy’s Law of String” to explain a phenomenon that frustrates headphone wearers everywher. And, astonishingly, the physicist claims he’s devised a workable fix, potentially eliminating tangled headphone wires as we know them.
 

       After some experimentation, Matthews and students had the idea to pin the headphone cords together in two spots: the three wires all together near the audio jack and two earbuds, and the two earbud cables again farther down the cable (see the image below).
 

        “Simply clipping together the two ends of the cords makes the cable less likely to form a knot, saving the frustration of having to untangle it before plugging in,” Matthews said of the group’s findings.
 

        "This was all about using hard science to tackle an everyday issue.”
 

       Though this may be the first time we’ve ever heard of a scientist getting his hands dirty in the issue of headphone wire tangles, it was of course not the first attempt to come up with a fix for the problem.
 

       Several lines of headphones have hit the shelves claiming to be “tangle free.” But, like Zipbuds and JAYS, many of these products have bulky cables or weird wrapping devices built in. Both Apple’s old white ear-style headphones and its new EarPods remain some of the most omnipresent gear for music-listening commuters, but neither have tangle-free technology built in. Headphones made by Beats, which Apple just purchased, do feature tangle-free cables, so maybe Apple’s EarPods will be getting a detangling upgrade in the future.
 

       Now this is the part wher the world-renowned genius physicist, after years of scholarly success and hard work, finally strikes it rich by trademarking a $5 piece of plastic, right?
