It's disappointing that so many find this type of "advanced" and "deep thinking" boring. Imagine what would happen to society if all of our deep thinkers and Engineers died off. We'd be back in the stone age. No airplanes and cars to rap about and no more bling bling to brag about. Originally Posted by Zanzibar789

After all of the other insane mathematical odds on top of this one, we finally get to the example of the Atlantic ocean in the Infographic.

What are the odds that the one egg (Sally) met the one sperm (Harry) which together made you and not your brother?

1 in 400,000,000,000,000,000 (1 in 400 quadrillion) which is ~ the volume in cubic meters of the Atlantic Ocean. (3.236x10^17 Cubic meters)

...and then the calculations morph into more insane figures. Originally Posted by Zanzibar789
