[4everfree2001]

Who would claim that buying four tickets out of a million would leave you with a one in four chance of winning?

It would leave you with a (4 / 1,000,000) change of winning, which is exactly four times more than one ticket (1 / 1,000,000).

[He Rides A White Horse]

My mistake was making the assumption that a four-fold increase was the same as a one in four chance. I see that was incorrect.

I was merely trying to use large numbers as examples since they are representative of the large numbers applied to astronomy. Yet my example is still insignificant. Our galaxy is 100,000 light years across, and yet that is still a speck in the universe.

It's mind numbing wonderful, awe-inspiring.
