The definition of luck usually varies according to the emotional, philosophical, religious or mystical influence of the person talking about it. According to the classic meaning in the dictionary, luck is “a service without a purpose, unpredictable and uncontrollable events modeling favorably or not for a particular individual, group or cause”. Almost confirming that idea, the author Max Gunther defines it as an event or series of events seemingly out of our control, which ultimately influence our lives.
Well, luck brought you here, to our infographic, so you could understand how lucky you are to be reading this. Kind of a lucky-ception, isn’t it? However, some may argue that it wasn’t luck, but probability. Nevertheless, that’s a whole new debate.
For the popular imagination and common sense, luck is a real element, present and active in life. But for science there is no way to prove that it actually exists, and therefore is not an appropriate term to define a sequence of events that eventually leads to fantastic or catastrophic events, if you’re having “bad luck”. Movies were made about it, books were written about it and now you can’t stop thinking about it.
But while some of us say luck, others say science and we can’t ignore the study of probability. Gambling shows us that interest in quantifying ideas and events has existed for millennia, but exact mathematical descriptions only arose much later. You can call whatever you want to the numbers we have for you today, but they will surely make you feel lucky. According to our infographic, you only had a slight chance – 0.0000171% – of being here and yet you made it. How did we find out this result? We gathered numbers from the small groups where you belong and they revealed how lucky you are, simple as that.
