According to the law, the greased slice falls from its greased side in 81% of the cases.
According to British scientists, the reason why the slice falls so often from its greased side is the height of the table. In an experiment, the researchers found that the slice rolled several times before falling to the floor. The fall took place in only half a rotation.
In the experiment, 100 spread slices were used and dropped from a standard table with a height of 75 cm.
The study's lead author, Professor Chris Smith of Manchester University of Technology, found that if we wanted the slices not to fall off their greased side, we had to eat at higher tables, about 240 cm, so that it could be done. 360-degree rotation when the slice of bread falls.
The study was commissioned by the TV comedy series "The Big Bang Theory", whose latest episodes come out this fall. The characters of the series will look for an answer to the question - why so often the slice falls from its smeared side.
A few years ago, in a bid to prove Murphy's law, students dropped 150,000 greased slices.
One of Murphy's basic laws is that if something can go wrong, it will definitely go wrong. The variant of the law from the point of view of the branch is that it always falls on the anointed side.
In the experiment, students dropped 20 slices a day smeared with butter. Aston University expert Robert Matthews was checking the pattern of bread slices falling. At the end of the demonstration, it was found that 80% of the branches had fallen on their anointed side.
The youngsters then released the same amount of ungreased slices to determine what effect the oil had on the rotation of the slice.
The experiment was part of the government's Mats 2000 program, and its purpose was to show students the functionality of mathematics in terms of its fun side.
Sponsors of the venture became famous oil producers.
