Mötley Principle

When people flip a coin and you ask what the odds of it landing on heads, most people will think 50-50. I think the odds can’t be determined as their are an infinity of options, the only thing we know is we are flipping the coin and we want a result.

I believe when you flip a coin that there are an infinite number of options for the result.

What if you flip the coin and it lands on its side. What if it rolls off the table? Did it have to land on the table?  What if I flip it and you grab the coin in midair? What are the odds of that and how do we factor that in.

For simplicity sake, lets say heads or tails are the only option and you have flipped your coin 999,999 times and it has landed on heads every time… what are the odds of the coin flip landing on heads? What are the odds of you flipping it and getting a 1,000,000 heads in a row?

That is stuff we can’t control and the answer is it matters and it doesn’t matter.  We set the state when we look, just like the pedophile back in the day figured out.
