I was thinking about something like this the other day, perhaps anons would like to comment on it. How come reality does not collapse out of shear probability?Here is my thought: my building could collapse today. It's highly unlikely, but it's not zero chance. A plane could fall on my head, which is extremely unlikely too, but not zero. Now we could move on: a lion escapes the local zoo and breaks into my apartment, a sudden heart attack, the neighbour forgot to check the oven and a huge explosion occurs or a new unexpected war begins with a bombing right on top of my head, or even, a meteor has just the right characteristics to escape detections and crash on all os us. All extremely unlikely, but not a zero chance. How come does this chance not accumulate? What if the universe collapses in some sort of event we had no way to predict with our current knowledge?On a more positive tone, it feels like we are playing billiions of lottery tickets all the time and thus simultaneously losing most of them but winning a few.
