Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram – ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ From the Mind-Blown department of the Universe… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In a deck of 52 playing cards, the total number of possible shuffles is Astronomical: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ** If a trillion people each shuffled a deck of cards a trillion times per second… ** And they each did this for a trillion years… ** And it occurred in a trillion civilizations across our universe…. ** And that played out in a trillion universes across the multiverse…⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On your next shuffle, only then is there a nearly even chance your deck will match any previously shuffled deck. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Which means any time you fully shuffle a deck of cards, it’s not likely to match any deck that has ever been shuffled before. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Just Sayin’.
