AirPods Max get an elegant solution to their biggest design flaw

A Random Walk in 10 Dimensions (2021)

Physics in high dimensions is becoming the norm in modern dynamics. It is not only that string theory operates in ten dimensions (plus one for time), but virtually every complex dynamical system is described and analyzed within state spaces of high dimensionality. Population dynamics, for instance, may describe hundreds or thousands of different species, each of whose time-varying populations define a separate axis in a high-dimensional space. Coupled mechanical systems likewise may have hundred
