Quantum Mechanics and Unlikely Events
This chapter investigates the intersection of quantum mechanics with improbable events, challenging the plausibility of attributing bizarre occurrences to quantum phenomena. It dissects the concept of probability, distinguishing between the frequency of events and the actual likelihood of rare occurrences. The chapter concludes that, despite their theoretical possibility, such events remain too unlikely to offer viable explanations for anomalous experiences.
