It seems like no matter how neatly I try and put them up, they always have become insanely tangled the next time I use them, even when nobody has touched them in between. There must be some sort of physical explanation for this. I’ve always wondered why, but I truly cannot think of an explanation. What causes this “phenomenon”?

It’s our fault.
If you coil a cord round-and-round you are enabled rapid and easy tangling.
There is another solution, known for 3000-4000 years, called flaking. Instead of coiling round-and-round you coil in a figure 8. This won’t tangle. While sailors and mountain climbers use this technique, it’s not as common for most people.
