Robert Matthews may have just become our best new ear bud.

The physicist's recent work out of Aston University in Birmingham, England, wasn't concerned with tracing the origins of the Big Bang, but instead tackling the more immediate problem of tangled headphone cords.

According to the Daily Mail, Matthews investigated "Murphy's Law of String" to explain a phenomenon that frustrates headphone wearers everywhere. And, astonishingly, the physicist claims he's devised a workable fix, potentially eliminating tangled headphone wires as we know them.

After some experimentation, Matthews and students had the idea to pin the headphone cords together in two spots: the three wires all together near the audio jack and two earbuds, and the two earbud cables again farther down the cable (see the image below).
