What is an extreme of possibility?
I can explain an extreme of possibility using a deck of cards. Imagine shuffling a deck of cards. When you stop, the cards are in some particular order. Each pattern that the cards could be in is one possibility, one pattern. The number of different combinations is not infinite but it is an extremely large number. With three cards there are only 9 unique configurations the cards can be in, but with ten cards there are 3,628,800 different possible unique configurations. With eleven cards you multiply 3,628,800 by eleven, which is almost 40 million different patterns, and so on and so on, until you reach 56 cards, where the number of patterns is a bit more than 8 followed by 67 zeros, or 8.065817517094 1067. Okay so that is a little bit surprising, that there are so many different configurations in just one deck of cards, but let’s see which configuration the cards are in. You have shuffled the cards at least thirteen times and so each pattern is as probable as any other, and now it is t
