current envelope= x
other envelope= y

There is a 50% chance that the y is twice as big as x. There is a 50% chance that y is twice as small as x.

Y = 0.5(2x) + 0.5 (0.5x)
Y = X + 0.25X
Y = 1.25X

You jelly, Mrs. Johnson*?

this is false and violates symmetry.

johnson is not jelly.

HA!

Nice catch, ComEriJanMD. That was pretty bad.

Maybe Mrs. Johnson isn't so jealous.

wait for it to happen obv

if there are n air molecules in a box, it's about 2^(-n) chance at some random time all particles are to one side, so just got to wait it out imo

I love this one. Obviously a magnifying glass just focuses the Irradiance of the top glass surface area to a much smaller focus-point area. But then...wait a sec...we could focus a large area of energy (irradiance) onto a small area, saving the need for massive collection units, instead relying on mirrors/deflection.....KABOOM

on a long enough time line, the survivability rate of everyone drops to zero.

****, wrong quote.

on a long enough time line, all possible arrangements of molecules in an enclosed space will occur

But what is that timeline has an infinitely large body of mass sitting on it?

so your theory of arrangements works with any material since we are ignoring the reason the air is spread throughout the volume of the box in the first place (also the reason that would keep it there)...booya

4. Most sites don't let you cash out unless you actually play with the money you deposit.

5. Poker sites could just start charging you the transfer fee if something like this were to ever happen.
