I'm crying right now at the random impossibility that I even exist. Its incredible really. One tiny swimmy broke through a cellular shell to make me. I owe that lil nigga everything.
>>16870168>it's heckin literally impossible I exist according to MATH>therefore, screw God he didn't make me!Evolution of gaps fallacy
>>16870168that's just observation bias. You aren't considering the infinitely many hypothetical people that COULD have existed but do not. If you are about to throw a dart at a dartboard, any singular point on the dartboard is extremely unlikely to get hit, but at least one of those extremely unlikely events will happen. If you just look at the results at the end, and think "wow it sure was insanely unlikely that the dart would hit this EXACT point on the dartboard and noplace else!" then yeah, that's technically true, but it's not really significant at all.
Every single life is a statistical miracle. If is a form of cosmic horror. Really. It is. Retroactive abortion are happening 24/7, constantly, at all times. Your father having an orgasm at a different angle would have killed you.
>>16870190Not just lives. Almost every single discreet event that has ever happened in the entire history of the universe is a statistical miracle, so long as you consider enough factors. For example, lets consider flipping a coin and having it land on heads. The likelyhood of that exact coin made from that exact combination of exact atoms being at that exact location and time is so unlikely it's unfathomable. You can apply this kind of forced wonder to anything, so long as you work backwards long enough to get the amount of factors involved to suit your fancy and arrive at whatever arbitrary degree of unlikelihood you want to cook up. Everything is statistically unlikely until it happens.
Actually the likelihood of me existing is 1 because it already happened
>>16870168it's a mysteryhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MPHyR92MQic
>>16870168Probability of you existing is 100% because:1. It's set into the fabric of the universe, it was always going to happen, you are an intrinsic feature of the universe 2. The universe is infinite in size and time as there can't be a beginning and there can't be a physical limit to its size. So if the universe is infinite, and you are the universe, you have already existed an infinite amount of times in the past, and will exist again an infinite amount of times in the future.
>>16870168improbably != impossiblein fact it would be impossible for you to not exist.
>>16870168How did the person who wrote that know that I would one day read it?
>>16870168>spills roll of pennies>i am 1 in 2^100Wow.
>>16870263>The universe is infinite in size and time as there can't be a beginning and there can't be a physical limit to its size.source for this claim?
>>16870307Simple common sense. There is only existence, and always has been. To say otherwise is completely absurd, illogical, nonsensical. All the proof you ever need is to understand that you're here right now in your state of existing. It's up to YOU to prove the absurd notion that the universe could ever possibly go from a state of 0 to 1. To think that the chain of events leading to your existence could possibly have a beginning is completely illogical. And the same goes for it being infinite in size. It's up to you to prove that the universe could ever possibly have some magical impassable boundary. It's up to you to prove that there is a location somewhere in the universe where existence becomes 'non-existence'.If the universe were infinite in time and size, that would perfectly explain why you're here right now. Because with infinite time and space it becomes inevitable.
>>16870311Your thinking is very prior era. We're doing the new thing now. It's better.
>>16870190>>16870195Everything everywhere every-when exists all at once.
You should go to the philosophy board
>>16870345>dude math is like so philosophical It is. But it’s also the language of science. Get fucked.
>>16870347That's what philosophy is all about, pondering life put on a different level. Not a scientific level, more of a thought level. You should get fucked and fuck off to Reddit
>>16870349Theoretical physicists and mathematicians cannot escape taking philosophical positions whenever they do a hypothetical or theoretical anything :^)
>>16870311Gramps been fucking your brains out through your ass yet again we see.
>>16870369So you think the universe magically came into existence one day, and that somewhere out there is a magical boundary that cannot be crossed. Got it.
Isn't this looking at it completely backwards? There's an uncountable number of hypothetical people that could have existed if things played out slightly differently, but none of them are sitting around feeling any about their statistically likely nonexistence.
>>16870375nta, but more likely, the universe always was. there wasn't a period of "nothingness" as nothing as a state cannot be, so whats left is existence, maybe not in current shape or form, but in some other form.if the universe is to observe the conservation of mass and energy, it would merely be another transformation of the universe rather than creation ex-nihilo.
>>16870500>"nothingness" as nothing as a state cannot beBut that's a statement about your conceptual model, not about reality.>if the universe is to observe the conservation of mass and energyIt doesn't.
>>16870168the probabilty was 50/50, it either happened or it didnt
>>16870311>Because with infinite time and space it becomes inevitable.I never understood this argument. An infinite set of odd numbers won't include the number 2. Infinity doesn't mean everything imaginable happens. *Some* life was inevitable since the ingredients were always there (we're proof of this). *You* weren't inevitable.
