Bistrophysics

The washing machine, it’s a thing.

My particular front loading number from Germany even includes some electronics driven by bistrophysics. Quite the added bonus.

Enter into the standard washing mode and you find yourself at the wrong end of a hot process that endures for 3 hours and 12 minutes.

What, I wonder, takes so long? The clothes don’t appear to be any cleaner than the old top loader that had a 30 minutes cold cycle.

Ignoring that discrepancy, the advertised cycle of 3 hours and 12 minutes might actually take anywhere between 3 hours and 30 minutes and 4 hours and 30 minutes.

This morning the last minute actually took 5 minutes; see image below.

The fuckers are on Jetstar time! And both Bosch and Jetstar are using bistrophysics.

Einstein’s theory of relativity was based on the hypothesis that time was not an absolute, but based on an observer’s movement through space.

This theory is however just a limiting case of the more general laws of bistrophysics that state that time is not an absolute, and the degree of variation from the expected absolute value depends upon the attentiveness of the observer.

Bloody obvious when you think about it!
