Today's inspiring mathematical thought, brought to you by Dr. Steven Strogatz, Cornell University
"The mathematical theory, 'Littlewood's Law,' said if you break your day into two second chunks, in a month's time you will have experienced about a million of them- or a million opportunities for something wild to happen. Most people think a one-in-a-million chance is unlikely. But this principle suggests that with enough chances, crazy coincidences are likely to occur."
