After many years of life experience, I have come to understand how life in the universe came about despite all the supposed probabilities. I call it the “law of the damn little corners.” Let me give you an example: If you walk through an almost or completely empty big room with a long cord behind you, for example a long vacuum cleaner cord, then according to the accepted laws of logic, it seems unlikely that you will get caught on something with that cord. But that is fundamentally wrong. The fact is that this cord will get caught on the smallest, most unlikely corner. Every time. At first, I thought it was something like Murphy's Law, but that's not quite accurate in my opinion, so I named it the “law of damn little corners.” Life in the universe must have come about in this way, because, as we know, life needs a number of basic conditions to come into existence, and these conditions are all found within narrow windows; a narrow temperature window in which water can be liquid, for example, is essential, as is the correct distance from the sun and the right gravitational force. That all these factors come together “by chance” seems unlikely and astonishing in itself. But once you know the “law of damn little corners,” it no longer surprises you at all.

>>41174642It means that something is very likely to get stuck in the most unlikely places.
>>41174642Where did that cord and the room come tho.
>>41176107In pretty much exactly the same way. It is a matter of principle. If you don't want to allow this in your mind, you can also imagine a creator for both the space and the cord (we also could name the cord a string here). But ultimately, this creator and his creations also came into being in the same way, at least that is the most likely assumption, especially since the universe is known to repeat the principles within it infinitely. What do you think?
I like the humorous way of presenting this. I think you're describing something like absurdism. The "damn little corners" are always so absurd that you can't believe the cord would get caught, of all the places! You're essentially making a metaphor of the absurdity of the cord getting caught with the absurdity of living arising in our chaotic universe. I think this is true and great. The universe can be described in one word: Incomprehensible
>>41176535Thank you, dear stranger.
>>41172740You're not wrong. Look up the term nucleation point.
>>41172740The lines inbetween the cracks of the little corners
>>41182264Don't step on the cracks.
