Professor Blastoff Show topic suggestion "Coincidence"

[frankpulaski 49]

Aloha, I would like to suggest the topic of Coincidence. What is a coincidence? Is it random or divine? Do coincidences mean anything? Is it religious or metaphysical?
From Wikipedia:
"A coincidence is an event notable for its occurring in conjunction with other conditions, e.g. another event. As such, a coincidence occurs when something uncanny, accidental and unexpected happens under conditions named, but not under a defined relationship. When there are no conditions named, the event is just that single entity."
Here is clip from "Repo Man", Miller explains the lattice of coincidence and the cosmic unconsciousness. Plate-O-Shrimp.

Quotes:
