It might be, but it might be something else. My brother always figured that tiny objects, when they fly off into space, such as your spring, c-clips, tiny screws, etc., actually are right there where they landed. However, while they are in the correct physical plane, they are in the wrong temporal plane. In time, they will often reappear right where they were believed to be in the first place.
