Where do things vanish to? Is it a parallel universe?

Question

Occasionally things literally just disappear. We have lost the DVD remote for the bedroom...it was there one day and literally gone the next. We have hunted high and low, and turned the room upside down to no avail.
My new theory is that it has slipped through a rare hole in the space/time continuum and into a parallel universe.
In this place, they have the opposite problem to us. Things just randomly appear that you don't ever recall buying or having.
Anyway - has anything ever vanished for you? Odd socks, teacups, jewellery, pens?
I'm telling you - it's in that parallel universe, and lost for good until we work out how to get there and get all our stuff back.

Answer 1

Indeed an interesting question. In all likelihood, the fact that you cannot see your remote or your socks does not mean that they aren't there. But at the same time, if nobody can see them, nobody can prove that they aren't NOT there either, and haven't indeed swapped universes. And if they have swapped universes, I would think it's less likely there's just one particular Universe out there where all our missing stuff goes. I think it's more likely that stuff would be swapping between universes all the time, not just from here to there and back again. This opens the door for duplicate items to appear in this universe as well.

So, think of all the times you're NOT looking for your keys. There's every chance that sitting next to the keys you're not looking for are another pair of identical keys belonging to an alternate you in another universe, and this alternate you is getting extremely frustrated since they can't find their keys. Before you get around to looking for your keys and discovering the duplicate pair, they have slipped back to their home universe and you were none the wiser.

For me, this was my wallet about a month ago. I looked in my single compartment bag, and my wallet wasn't there. There was a Mountain Biking magazine, an empty breakfast container, and my beanie (toque for your Canadians ay?). I looked to see if it had slipped inside my beanie - not there. Under or in the magazine - not there. The breakfast container was transparent - no need to check in there. It's a single compartment bag - there's nowhere else in there to look. So it's lost. Ring up, cancel the credit cards, start looking into the cost of replacing drivers licence etc. At the end of (a really bad) day, I go to put some paperwork in my bag, and there is my wallet. Obviously, it had slipped into the bag of one of my alternate universe counterparts. Thankfully, he didn't realise and left me with all my cash. Unfortunately, I had a week with no credit cards either.

This all fits nicely into the category of "because we can't prove it's not possible, then there's a chance it could be possible." (This is also the only thing keeping religion afloat)

Holy Gehosaphats...

It happens to you out at your place too??? Well I will just be corn swaggled. I have things disappear all the time and I thought it must be those kids next door a fooling with me, and such as that. The very idea that there could be some naturalistic rudamentary causation behind it all makes me just get all goosebumpy. I have had so many things vanish, as you said, that I can't begin to list them all down for you.

So, let me ask you this...Out at your place, do you hear things moving around at night? You know, sort of like some one walking around the hallway in old worn out slippers or something. Then everyso often i hear a door rattle like it just got closed when it wasn't ever open. now that skers me just right down to my bones, don't you know... Does stuff like that go on at your place also? Boy I sure would like to know, cause that would mean I am not all alone out there with all these goings on, and such as that.

I once lived in an old tudor mansion, where things used to disappear on a fairly regular basis.

A housemate called it the d**head void, which nicely summarised the frustration felt when something you desperately needed had inexplicably vanished.

We shared the house with the ghost of a 15th century Earl and a kleptomaniac. I leave you to draw your own conclusions.

Answer 4

My understanding is that these quantum effects only occur at the subatomic level. I doubt this is a really serious question, but if there are parallel universes, only quanta will disappear into them. If you have problems losing things, get a GPS locator for everything :-)

Answer 6

well I can't really give you an answer but i'll give you my theory~
Me and my friends were actually discussing hypnotism (to be hypnotized against your will) and mesmorism (to be hypnotized but at your own will) and someone brought up that she read somewhere (forgot the name of the book but it was a fictional book with hypnotism and mesmorizing involved with it) that forgetting where you placed an object(s) or anything of that sort could be a form mesmorism called a trance. so i guess you have to look at it both ways it's not always going to be the object's fault it could just be that you've had a bit of amnesia just then or a sign of old age? you never know. But its good to look at it both ways thats my guess :)

Answer 7

It's a g-g-g-ghost!
Can't be a parallel universe. You need a paragonical transpluter suspended in warmed frutose syrup to create one of those.

Answer 8

Yes. Smaller particles literally disappear according to physicists so why can't your remote?

Answer 9

Hmmmmm, if I could just disappear from my job occasionally for 8hrs, without having to resort to using up my vacation and sick time, that would be quite an enjoyable experience. :)

Answer 10

I believe socks and the remote are the most commonly vanishing items....perhaps sock and remote gnome? Who knows....
