Conducting my research for a story I finally set my mind to write, I came across these 2 statements:
1) scientists believe human brain is likely to be most complex object nature created within the Solar system
2) the very probability of life, keeping in mind endless ifs of our mundane existence in the Universe is nothing short of miraculous, well below 0,00000000001%. (Let’s leave alone question how we can evaluate the probability of these events, especially when we discuss complex systems and probabilities on such a scale: the age of Universe is currently being estimated at 13.7 billion years +/-200 million years and size is as 3.56×1080 cubic meters).
Of course, downscaling the case, on the top where are some other probabilities, e.g. one chance in probably few hundred thousand my parents would meet and got married; assuming they were capable of conceiving me, my being is the result of the union of one of few million sperms with particular ovum out of a few hundreds, etc…
There are, of course, endless probabilities exist even now, as they do at any given moment: that Internet will be created, this memories-dreams bank of whatever called Memorycemetery will be set, that you will find out about it, and will read this post, and will think: what the heck?!
