So check this. Math confuses the shit out of me. As some of you may have witnessed in my previous thread about matching b-days.
But I got a problem I don't think anyone can solve.
And that is >>>DNA forensics.
I was just watching a show where "scientists" said there was a 1 in 20 sextillion, or "1/20000000000000000000000 chance" that they matched the DNA of a killer to a female cop. Then they just threw the bitch in prison for life.
However... how does this NOT violate the laws of physics? We don't do this shit with lotteries but we do it in forensics when someones life is on the line?
There are 7 billion people on the planet. But only 2.4 million locked up in the US and 49 million in the entire world.
We only collect DNA on prisoners. So somehow, these scientists can predict the DNA of math my calculator can't even do.
Doing it manually, that's 20 sextillion - 49 million = 19,999,999,999,999,951,000,000 people we don't even have DNA records of. Not to mention that 19,999,999,999,993,000,000,000 of those people DON'T EVEN FUCKING EXIST.
That shit is ABSURD. Using their same exact math, I can say that there is a 19.9 sextillion chance they are completely FULL OF SHIT.
