This theory was popular in the late eighties:

why socks disappear...... When socks go into the dryer, some quantum mechanics principle causes their mutation into wire hangers which subsequently appear in the closet. Socks, therefore, are actually coat-hanger larvae.

Lots of more complicated theories abound here, but I ascribe to Occam's razor principle.

Now I know what that stuff on them wire coathangers are. Thanks Sg! Socks be growing. That garden in the closet produces so many usable objects. Any ideas on how to grow ammo?

I ascribe to Occam's razor principle.

So socks disappear because some guy named Occam slices them up with a razor? Is that the principle?

some quantum mechanics principle

I'm sure that is somewhat related to the uncertainty of determining both the spin and the position simultaneously. Werner Heisenberg is vindicated!

Or, alternately, the dryer opens a dimensional tear that drags socks through to some bizarre dimension.
Or the past, so some caveman is absolutely baffled by the strange things flying at him.
