What are the Odds?

Об эпизоде

<p>Coincidences can feel like magic. When we realize that a co-worker shares our birthday or run into a college roommate while on vacation, it can give us a surge of delight. Today, we revisit a favorite episode about these moments of serendipity. Mathematician <a href="http://www.josephmazur.com/">Joseph Mazur</a> explains why coincidences aren't as unlikely as we think they are, and psychologist <a href="https://www.chicagobooth.edu/faculty/directory/e/nicholas-epley">Nicholas Epley</a> tells us why we can't help but find meaning in them anyway. </p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
