New physics phenomenon!

[posix]

It has been observed that if one spills a box full {n} of identical tiny items {b} (nuts, balls, even small ball bearings themselves etc) at location {A} that the time {t} taken to find each subsequent item {b} grows exponentially. At the same time nth item is invaribaly found - if ever due to exponentally long t, often approaching infinity - at location A +/-1% i.e. right under your nose


Physicists are still arguing and struggling to decide whether this is due to quantum mechanics or if it has something to do with theory of relativity but some, including Fellow Lucasian Professor of Mathematics, DAMTP at Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge Stephen Hawking C.H., C.B.E., Ph.D., Hon Sc.D., F.R.S., postulate that this could, in fact, be the missing link between the two!

Its MARKETING!
I don't find the nth missing piece/part until I've purchased the replacement!

Isn't this related to the fact that when you lose something, you always find it in the last place you look?

Edit - Except for love, when you lose it you always find it some where else.

[posix]

As per postulation - {t} often approaches infinity, proportional to size multiplied by value of item {b}
and
t >= time {t'} of purchasing replacement item {c}

The always find it in the last place you look theorem is related to another branch of string-theories of finding items itself loosely related to this new quantum gravitational theory of finding items from a spilt box.

P.S. the finding love theory belongs to the theory of relativity and should be discussed in another thread. It has to do with speed of enlightenment, gravitational effect of funds and last but not least, proximity of other bodies of equal or greater pull.

You're all wrong.

It is all due to THE PERVERSE NATURE OF INANIMATE OBJECTS.

PS; the physics professor cited in prior post may also have a BMF degree as well.

This could be due to quantum displacement!

If "t" is approaching infinity then the last place you look my very well be the last place you look!

But as the speed of falling in love approaches the speed of Enlightenment you enter cupids sphere of uncertainty, which places us back into the realm of quantum physics. But, do to the quarkiness of the female particle; extraneous factors can sometimes lead to premature decay and collapse of the field of love.

A few such factors such as male particle bonding, older female particles in a decaying orbit, and the ever present overwhelming attraction the male particle has to newer female particles.

limit as n aproaches infity = suicide

[turmite]

Not necessarily. There are those like those like High Seas who quit looking before they have found the last piece!

As I was told, the best way for containing cupid’s sphere of uncertainty is to remember that ignorance is bliss. The formula is:

Tell The Truth Now:

How many times have you each looked and looked for something, and after searching the whole house repeatedly, found it was in the FIRST place you looked after all ?!?!

Now I think you are touching on realitivity again, since if you could travel far enough in one direction you would end up back where you started.

The problem is that if you keep looking after you find it in the last place you looked, your freinds and realitives will try to send you away for a very long time!
