Littlewood's Law

Hi all, today I wanted to share an intriguing concept called, "Littlewood's law". For everyone out there that doubts anything miraculous ever happens, well... "Littlewood's law, making certain suppositions, is explained as follows: a miracle is defined as an exceptional event of special significance occurring at a frequency of one in a million; during the hours in which a human is awake and alert, a human will experience one thing per second (for instance, seeing the computer screen, the keyboard, the mouse, the article, etc.); additionally, a human is alert for about eight hours per day; and as a result, a human will, in 35 days, have experienced, under these suppositions, 1,008,000 things. Accepting this definition of a miracle, one can be expected to observe one miraculous occurrence within the passing of every 35 consecutive days -- and therefore, according to this reasoning, seemingly miraculous events are actually commonplace." Of course, every one's definition of a miracle is different but the prejudiced opinions of the truly negative is consistently balanced by the subjective conceptions of the positive. Some believe that having children is a miracle but some don't and disregard it as simple biology. Some would say, the sun rising and setting every single day is purely commonplace and non fantastical but if you consider the possibility that if it didn't happen, we wouldn't be here right now. That seems pretty phenomenal and very much a benediction to me. Wherever you stand on the issue, don't allow your cynicism to prevent you from seeing what is always around us...the veritably divine.

“There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle." ~ Albert Einstein
