when A, the dinosaurs died, and then at the end of the Permian, nearly 300 million years ago, there was a mass extinction that killed over 85% of organisms in the sea and over 70% on land. And if these violent events hadn't happened and these great extinctions hadn't happened, we wouldn't be here and mammals wouldn't have been here. So I think that's one of the amazing things. But what's truly...

And what's truly staggering is that science has been able to piece so much together. You know, the science is driven by imagination and curiosity. And we're all scientists at heart. Science is about finding what works and what doesn't work through trial and error, through experiments. We can all be scientists.

You're right that there are a number of things that, if they didn't happen, we wouldn't be here. As an example, 66 million years ago, an asteroid collided with the Earth. It caused a mass extinction, and it caused the death of all dinosaurs, except birds. So birds are the few dinosaurs that survived the extinction, and they have radiated to and spread to become the birds we know and love today.

If that hadn't happened, mammals wouldn't have got the upper hand, and mammals, we are mammals, mammals wouldn't have evolved to create us. Now, despite all of these events, these kind of events that look like luck, there are some physicists and some scientists, and they say this with very good reason, that if we were to start our universe exactly the way that it formed

13.8 billion years ago when we were to do the experiment where we run the experiment forward we would find that we were here we were sat here today having this conversation that exactly the same things would happen and so they argue that what what they say is the the universe is deterministic and with a big enough computer we would be able to predict the behavior of every single tiny particle

in the universe and how they formed atoms and how they formed planets and how they formed us. And that if we ran the clock again, we would be here. There are other scientists that say, actually, no, I don't believe that. I think we've won the cosmic lottery. There've been a large number of events that had to happen for us to be here and they were chance events and they were truly chance events.

And then the question comes, The question that they then ask is what is luck and where does chance come from? And what's really interesting at the moment, the only true source of randomness, so where luck could come from in the universe, is the behavior of tiny particles. And that's known as quantum behavior or quantum mechanics.
