Living the dream.
A friend of mine lost a part at his workshop on Long Island. He found it on the floor of his new home 300 miles away.

LastspikemikeAre you certain about that?
-E-C-Mills Everything is actually waves. The problem is, we humans have a hard time visualizing waves. Its much easier to visualize particles.
A wave is a particle in motion.

Keep in mind, quantum mechanics is actually wave mechanics. Everything is actually waves. The problem is, we humans have a hard time visualizing waves. Its much easier to visualize particles. The tiny parts we lose are there, we just cant see them becuase we are looking for a particle. Its actually a wavicle, a tiny bundle of waves. So to see them, we need to think like a wave. One might try drinking large amounts of caffeine to cause one to vibrate. Listen to music with a strong beat while searching for the part.

When do you find the missing item?
After buying another one at twice the price of the lost one. Then the lost one is there in front of you like a flashing beacon.
Is that where this half used glue bottle come from..

You have all been sniffing the glue again .....
Wait, ...
Where did my glue go ...
Rust...... It's a good thing !
dstarr This isn't quantum mechanics, but I believe the fabric of our space time has myriad tiny holes, each big enough to swallow anything the size of a 4-40 nut or less. Those tiny parts you cannot find just fell thru one of the holes. Where the holes go I have no idea.

My experience has proven that with regard to all the theories, principles and laws discussed above, the size of the lost article is not part of the equasion. It's the importance of the lost part that dictates how hard it will be to find.
Why, I can find a Kadee knuckle spring with the greatest ease, regardless of how far it flung, and 2 or 3 more while I'm at it, because I have more than a lifetime supply of spares.
But drop that one off part off a locomotive, a part that is important, and of which you only have ONE.
Regardless of it's size, there WILL be a corner, crack, crevice, cavern, chasm, -whatever size space is required to swallow it- ready and waiting to consume it and demand far more time and effort to release it than it would have taken to locate or produce a replacement regardless of how difficult that may be. And that's only IF it is ever found, All too often, this does apply to tiny hardware, creating the illusion that size is the determining factor.
Nope. Not size. Importance.
Indisputably proven in my own workshop countless times. Even recently.

Yeah, that's it, spring theory. Well done!
maybe springs work different since the b rass changes color and mass as they develop the oxide so the physics would be different. as they slip through dimensions when dropper. Taking a long nonlinear path before reappearing in this dimension.
or just simply spring theory.

While still in grad school, the late Edward Teller, the 'father' of the hydrogen bomb, was advised by Heisenberg, his advisor, to attend a lecture by Einstein. Teller did, and left completely dejected and hopelessly confused. The lecture was on quantum mechanics. Teller's good friend, Schwinger, seeing his good friend so unhappy, asked him what the problem was. Teller wailed, "I am hopelessly stupid." He had seen others nodding and smiling as Einstein spoke, while Teller became more and more lost. Schwinger put his arm around Teller and said, amicably, "My friend, we are all stupid." Only later did Teller come to realize that even Einstein didn't understand quantum theory. Nobody does. Not yet. We know how to use it, we know its qualities, but they are not yet explained. Not by Feynman, not by Fermi, not by von Neuman, or Szilard, Oppenheimer....nobody.
well that kind of fits with my idea of two objects in the same space cannt be done. if the part-tiod picks up a dropped screw from in this dimension, then it must drop one somewhere else back into this dimension to deal with those two screws not occupying the same space.
My late brother was disturbed by the problem that the amount of lint produced in his laundry room surely must have exceeded the sum of that retrieved from the dryer's lint filter and what entered the family vacuum cleaner. He therefore posited the existence of a body in space that he dubbed the "lintoid". Regrettably, he passed away before publishing his theory and preliminary reasearch.
As his closest sibling, I now feel obliged through family principle to promote his views - with corollaries appropriate to my own concerns and interests. Ergo, could there also exist a "parts-toid"? Will it someday be discovered by intrepid stellar travellers who will muse over the mysteries of their function and materials? Surely this must be supportable by any number of the notions expressed above.
We might name the new corollary "Brother Elias' Cat."

NVSRRThey go back to the suplier you will go to in an effort to buy more. unbeknownst to you, you keep buying the same one repeatedly.
Now that is a business model that will always work.
MisterBeasley That might be one I dropped about ten years ago working on my layout.

That would involve both superposition and entanglement. Super-position being the quality demonstrated in Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle (Schrodinger's Cat), and entanglement being the faster-than-light (-and-should-be-impossible) exchange of information between two particles sent in opposite directions, but who remain 'connected' by a frame reference. If you change the spin of an electron and its opposite, both flying off in opposite directions, the other will instantly change its spin. How is this possible when the two are separated by, say, two or three light seconds? So, the screw you found was the twin of the one he dropped. Case solved.
It will slip through a warm hole. They go back to the suplier you will go to in an effort to buy more. unbeknownst to you, you keep buying the same one repeatedly.
I know exactly where all those little holes in time and space lead...
Never-Never Land.
Because you will Never-Never find those little screws, nuts, or springs again!

BroadwayLion Just drop a small screw or spring on the floor and it simply slips through the folds reality, never to be seen again.
My youngest daughter used to have a miraculous ability to find lost screws and springs. Since she moved out, I believe they have all been slipping through the folds of reality.
