It's a subtle point about scientific observations and probability that Richard Feynman makes when he says:
You know, the most amazing thing happened to me tonight. I was coming here, on the way to the lecture, and I came in through the parking lot. And you won't believe what happened. I saw a car with the license plate ARW 357. Can you imagine? Of all the millions of license plates in the state, what was the chance that I would see that particular one tonight? Amazing!
The passing of time from the future into the past is a great statistical equalizer. Everything that has happened has a 100% chance of having happened. The world we live in, the path we've taken, may not be and may never have been the most probable, may have been nearly impossible, but here we are. Here we are.
Hello, friends. I hope you're well. Are you?
Later. Love.
