Why things which are unlikely to happen would never happen?

NOTICE
  • DO NOT TRUST THE FOLLOWING
MOTIVATION
  • what is "not likely" to happen?
  • for example:
  • sufficiently big wave would destroy reactor plant: likely to happen
  • huge big wave may happen in certain period: likely to happen
  • reactor plants used to go normally and seemed to be apart from catastrophe
  • in other words, it seemed unlikely to happen in ex-ante
  • another example:
  • thermodynamically, one would never find ice in operating boiler: unlikely to happen
  • one cannot imagine extremely non-equilibrium situation (intentionally or naturally) which enable ice exist in operating boiler
  • in future days, technology might make it possible to keeping a piece of ice midst of burning fire
  • another example:
  • someday one might find an ever-unseen decay mode of well-known particle
  • it might be a red alert to theorists
  • it might be thought as a ever-hypothetical high energy (so rare) action and evidence of such excitation
  • another example:
  • someday we would form a new kind of business models which could be well understood as fitting better to new technological and social environment
KNOWN PITFALL OF PROBABILITY CALCULUS
  • some unlikelihood turns out to be quite a likelihood from an wider viewpoint
  • narrower, or ex-ante, view contrasts with wider, or ex-post, view
WHAT IS TECHNOLOGY?
  • finer measurement and control
  • higher energy time quanta
WHAT IS POLITICAL?
  • political complication make things unpredictable
  • just like as in turbulence, or in viscose vacua: too many causes contribute
  • highly frictional universe is non-Newtonian: physicist of fishes should not be alike to Isaac Newton
  • if galaxies think, they might think like fishes, unlike human
