AA Probability deals in odds. Chanches can be very high but nature
deals in such big numbers that all is possible. Yes trillions of
monkeys typing could have one that has typed my 20 years of posts. Bad
grammar and spelling included. * Get the picture *TreBert


Could say Murphy's law is based on probability. Why not *TreBerty


Bert, as you know, Murphy's law states that if anything can go wrong,
it will. *So the probability would be in how likely it is that
anything can go wrong.


As with all human endeavor, that probability is pretty much about as
high as it can possibly be. *And that explains why no matter what we
do, something almost always goes wrong.


So while Murphy's law *is* based on probability, it turns out to be a
statement of fact - plain and simple fact.

There is a theory that fundamental particles contantlly take quantum
leaps in random directions. In the warped space on a gravitational
field, the prbability the particle will leap in one direction becomes
slightly more probable that that it will leap in the opposite
direction. That is why the object they comprise starts moving in that
direction!
