Re: Randomness, does it create?
Other people have stated this but have you the figures to back up the claim 'It is a well known fact that any chance above 1 in 10 to the 42 will never happen'. Who are the people that say this? Probability before the event is irrelevant if the event has already happened; probability after the event is 1. If you want to calculate the odds of everything that does happen be my guest, but your odds of 1 in 10 to the 42 will be replicated often. The odds that I would be 35 tomorrow would indicate that I am a lucky fellow to be here now. But I am. And no extraordinary events are needed to explain this. Even a small chain of quite low odds will result in incredible odds. By the way, do not use the word chance if you want to go into odds, chance indicates anything could happen, odds refer to strict mathematical rules.
