RE: Weird Science, Can you control the future?
Reminds me of the coin flip paradox: http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/science/2015/11/solution_to_coin_flip_paradox_when_to_bet_heads_or_tails.html
It's also similar to a weird wording of "if you have 2 children and you know 1 is a boy what are the odds the other is a girl?" problem where the answer ends up being 2/3.
I flipped some coins but didnt sniff 010101 or 101010 :)
it's possible i did it wrong as im about to pass out, will try again in morning with a coin flipper program to speed it up
@daut44 It won't work so well with a coin flipper app, I've tried.
The point is people visualize an outcome and make it their reality. Your link explains the reasoning pretty well as does the video. It's not really a random process.
