There is also a theretical possibility that the atoms of a pencil may randomly align with the atoms of the table it’s resting on and fall through it to the floor below.
It will never happen of course but there is a theoretical chance it will happen just as there is a theoretical chance the the collider will destroy the earth.
That second one happens all the time to me, though. I’ve stopped counting the things that have presumably phased through the floor. Most infuriating, only one out of a pair of knitting needles I have scoured that entire room for four times. It’s gone. Finito. It’s shaken off this mortal coil and returned to Sarah Hauschka.
