I know we've had a few threads on this type of topic before, but I want to present a new one so our new members can take part.
Not sure if this belongs in the metaphysical forum, or the paranormal forum, because sometimes it's a hard call.
Have you ever had something move from where you left it, even if just a little bit?
This is called Spooky Quantum Movements.
Regardless of what causes it, it can be very unnerving.
I've had food from my freezer disappear, a can of Parmesan cheese, a gem from my ring, articles of clothing, comb, and other personal items just suddenly vanish. They always turn up at the strangest places, usually where you have looked many times before. Sometimes days later, sometimes months.
These types of incidents seem a little different than "spooky" quantum movements; more like parallel universe entanglement.
Has anyone ever experienced either of these? Tell us about it.

Researchers have seen quantum fluctuations "kick" large objects such as mirrors, moving them by a tiny degree but one big enough to measure.
Such behaviour has previously been predicted by quantum physicists. But it has never before been measured.
The movements are the result of the way the universe is structured, when seen at the level of quantum mechanics: researchers describe it as a "noisy" space, where particles are constantly switching in and out of existence, which creates a low-level fuzz at all times.
Normally, that background of quantum "noise" is too subtle to detect in objects that are visible at the human-scale. But the new research shows that scientists have finally detected those movements, using new technology to watch for those fluctuations.
Researchers at the MIT LIGO Laboratory saw that the those fluctuations could move an object as big as a 40-kilogram mirror. The movement pushed the large mirrors a tiny amount, as predicted theoretically, allowing it to be measured by scientists.
The researchers were able to use special equipment called a quantum squeezer that allowed them to "manipulate" the noise so that it could be better observed.
"What's special about this experiment is we've seen quantum effects on something as large as a human," said Nergis Mavalvala, the Marble Professor and associate head of the physics department at MIT, in a statement.
"We too, every nanosecond of our existence, are being kicked around, buffeted by these quantum fluctuations. It's just that the jitter of our existence, our thermal energy, is too large for these quantum vacuum fluctuations to affect our motion measurably. With LIGO's mirrors, we've done all this work to isolate them from thermally driven motion and other forces, so that they are now still enough to be kicked around by quantum fluctuations and this spooky popcorn of the universe."
