Coins

Nearly everyone has seen a coin toss. Many have tossed a coin. The landing is significant here. By a bit of simple inertia imparted onto it, the coin slips through the air, flipping over and over, then finally landing on a surface to reveal only one side. Is this random? Just chance alone? In the […]

The Weather Paradox

I’ve often heard this statement: “The weather is just not normal today.” This has been the sentiment for the past few years of course, but how does one define the weather as being “normal?” Is it ever normal?

Humans are superstitious creatures, some more than others. Many scholars have suggested that developing a superstitious belief is about placing an element of control on an otherwise uncontrollable situation, force or action; effectively giving one “peace of mind” in specific situations.
