RE: Century Old Mystery of The Zipf's Law (And A Cool Experiment)

haha yea thats always a possibility

about the months, planets,... it refers to their names occurrences also within texts, like how frequently they would show in the text compared to their ranks, which kinda defies mathematical randomness. Sorry couldn't find a higher resolution image.

For the plotting, it is just the frequency of occurrence vs the rank (which is the top, second, and so on and so forth...), other graphs are using logarithmic function of said frequency for plotting too

For occurrence in nature/elements, apparently zipf's law can correlate to tons of things, this could be an aspect.

Awww and thank you for being so awesome !
