To: WhatNot
yikes...science and math collide.
to even imagine order out of chaos is incredible, considering all the unknowns. What are the possible odds
of it happening like Hawking says ?

I don't know, but let's take 10 knowns.

Take 10 identical coins and mark them 1 to 10.
Place them in your pocket.
Now take one out.
There is 1 chance in 10 that you will get number one.
Now replace it, and the overall chance that number two follows number one is not 1 in 10, but 1 in 100.
With each new coin taken out, the risk will be multiplied by 10, so that the chance of ten following nine, is 1 in 10 000 000 000 or 10 billion.

Nice try Perfessor.
