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.

off , its never anywhere near where that projected-on trajectory would

it land.


I'll bet that you're bad at playing pool, too.

Probably an eye-brain thing. Something moving fast outwards, in peripheral
vision
at 3 o'clock is interpreted by the brain as being at 5 o'clock, say. I'll
have to
take notes the next time.
