Cheng Mo thought that the matter could be solved in a few words, and he only needed to stay with Wang Shanhai for a while before he could go back. He didn't expect that Wang Shanhai would actually let him stay for dinner. He didn't eat at other people's houses.

Due to his habits, he has never had any experience of dining in other people's homes since he was a child, which makes him extra cautious.

At this moment, Cheng Mo was sitting at the round table in the restaurant, his straight back posture a little stiff, like a stubborn rock resisting the waves.

Wang Shanhai naturally noticed Cheng Mo's restraint, and raised the topic to make this poor and wise child stop being so tense, so he smiled and said: "Cheng Mo, I remember you are also Changya, right?

"

At this time, the nanny served the first dish of steamed eight-treasure fish. The moment the plate touched the wooden table, Cheng Mo replied: "Yeah."

Wang Shanhai immediately beamed and said: "What a coincidence, my little Jin is also a Changya... I haven't introduced you yet, but this is my granddaughter Xie Minyun. You should know her since you are a Changya...

..”

Xie Minyun, who was sitting opposite Cheng Mo, could not stand the way her grandfather was so proud when talking about her, so she immediately said in a nonchalant manner: "There are a lot of people studying in Changya in this courtyard, right? It's not surprising if you know me.

Oh! The so-called 'coincidence' is essentially just a probability event."

The main reason why Xie Minyun speaks a little hastily is because of her unwillingness to give in. She is still angry at Wang Shanhai's cheating style. Of course, it also has something to do with not taking Cheng Mo seriously, but essentially what she is fighting against is

Her own grandfather, as for Cheng Mo, was not worthy of her anger, so Cheng Mo was just bringing disaster to the pond.

Wang Shanhai didn't take Xie Minyun's attitude seriously. He smiled and turned to Cheng Mo, who was sitting next to him, and asked, "Cheng Mo, what do you think? What's the coincidence?"

Seeing her grandpa asking this, Xie Minyun also focused her attention on Cheng Mo. She didn't think the ordinary-looking kid opposite could give any decent answer, but since her grandpa asked him, it meant that he was interested in him.

There are many great academics from the Academy of Social Sciences in the place, and the fact that his grandfather can keep him here for dinner shows that his parents must be of a high level. This level may be in terms of power, wealth, or more likely in terms of knowledge.

Although the parent's level does not represent the child's level, since grandpa asked the other party this question, he thought that the other party could answer the question.

However, Cheng Mo just watched the nanny serve the second dish "Maojia Braised Pork", and while placing the clay pot on the table, he said: "I agree with this..."

Xie Minyun didn't see what she expected. Not to mention a sparkling answer, not even a decent answer. He could only pretend to agree with her. Xie Minyun immediately looked away from Cheng Mo and looked at Wang Shanhaidao.

: "Grandpa, there is really nothing to argue about this matter. So-called 'coincidences' happen all the time. It is not surprising. There are seven billion people on the earth and such a large sample. All kinds of incredible things are possible. Coincidences

The scope is too vague. If he happens to be in the same class as me, we can say it is a coincidence. Even if we are not in the same class, he is now my alumnus. We can still say it is a coincidence, even if we are not in the same school.

Then let's zoom in and assume that the place where we met is not in Star City, then we can still say it's a coincidence. We are both from Star City... So, the so-called 'coincidence', as long as you search hard, you will definitely find it.

"

Wang Shanhai asked Cheng Mo with a faint smile: "Cheng Mo, what do you think?"

Cheng Mo nodded noncommittally and said, "I think it makes sense."

Xie Minyun saw that she was debating seriously, but the old man and the young man seemed to be teasing her. They were a little angry and said expressionlessly: "Okay, okay, you are treating your granddaughter like this. I don't know who was on the phone yesterday.

Crying that I am an empty nester, saying that my son-in-law and daughter are not filial, so my granddaughter should be filial... I came here and you treated me like this, playing chess and pretending to be deaf and dumb when I asked you questions, I will never come to see you again next time

You..."

Wang Shanhai was really angry when he saw Xie Minyun's cold expression. He smiled at Xie Minyun and was about to say something, but Xie Minyun immediately turned his head away and didn't look at Wang Shanhai at all. As for Cheng Mo, he didn't exist at all.

Wang Shanhai saw Xie Minyun acting like I don't want to listen, so he turned to Cheng Mo and said, "Cheng Mo, look, you made my little Jin angry!"

Hearing this, Cheng Mo was a little confused. He had never met such a person in his memory. There were so many unreasonable people and people who were rogue to juniors. This was the first time that Cheng Mo had met him.

, but Chengmo didn't intend to take the blame. Just when he was about to open his mouth, he heard Wang Shanhai say: "When Xiaojin gets angry, I will get angry too. When I get angry, maybe I won't be able to do the thing you asked me to help with...

..What do you think we should do?”

Cheng Mo couldn't laugh or cry. He wanted to say, what does it have to do with me that your granddaughter is angry? I didn't do anything, I didn't say anything. It was you who made your granddaughter unhappy by playing chess, okay?

But people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and could only say helplessly: "Although I think coincidence can indeed be regarded as a probability issue, coincidence cannot be explained by probability alone."

Wang Shanhai asked like a compliment: "Oh? How do you say this?"

Cheng Mo thought to himself: He should have become Wang Shanhai's tool to educate his proud granddaughter, but for his own goal, let her suffer a little blow! As for the feeling of pity and cherishment, Cheng Mo has no such feelings at all.

So Cheng Mo said calmly: "Probability can only explain 'why coincidences occur'. It tells you that these coincidences will occur and there are such and such preconditions. But probability cannot explain 'the coincidence that occurred at this time is this one,

Rather than other forms', Carl Jung elaborated on this issue: In addition to the power of 'causation', there is a power called 'synchronicity' (Note 1). He believed that 'synchronicity'

Sex' is a 'non-causal connection principle' (Note 2). Under the influence of this power, some events are connected together."

Hearing Cheng Mo's words, Wang Shanhai's expression was very pleased, while Xie Minyun frowned. From the beginning, he didn't look at Cheng Mo at all, but now he looked at him seriously.

Cheng Mo turned a blind eye to the changes in the two people and continued: "This connection is obviously meaningful to him and worthy of interpretation. For example, when I was thinking about someone, that person just called me,

We say this is a coincidence, which can be regarded as a matter of probability. But we also often find more supernatural things. For example, we often hear reports that when one twin is in danger, the other twin will also have a sense.

When a person dies, his or her body will also experience abnormalities; for example, we often find that real-life experiences are similar to dreams... This kind of thing cannot be explained by probability."

Xie Minyun's mind was already racing at this moment. As the captain of the school debate team, she naturally would not allow herself to lose to an unknown person, so she looked at Cheng Mo with sharp eyes and said: "Coincidences only exist in reading.

In its eyes, those who believe in religion and mystical power prefer self-interpretation. Those who believe in intuition, destiny, and love to search for 'meaning' will believe in this kind of coincidence without causal relationship...

.In fact, as long as you search carefully, you will definitely find the premise. Although it is difficult to win the lottery, as long as there are many people buying it, someone will always win. What is there to be surprised about? This is the truth of coincidence! The so-called supernatural events are absolutely impossible.

Most of them are lies..."

Cheng Mo pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked at Xie Minyun's beautiful face and said calmly: "If you must argue like this, you are acting like a rogue like Dean Wang, because on the other hand, the probability is actually a coincidence.

Quantification is just a matter of different degrees of coincidence. Because we cannot set a specific value for coincidence, you mistakenly think that coincidence is probability, but in fact we can also say that probability is a type of coincidence..."

Hearing Cheng Mo's words that seemed to be ridiculing, but actually ridiculing Wang Shanhai, Xie Minyun said with a frosty face: "You~~~~!"

Note 1: Synchronicity can also be called simultaneity, which is actually an explanation of mysterious phenomena. For example, you are thinking about your friends, and they come; or you dream about something, and then you hear

Say, you discovered these things while you were dreaming; and other so-called mysterious phenomena.

In 1952, Jung defined the concept he dealt with in detail in his article "On Synchronicity" and briefly described the facts touched by the concept of "synchronicity": As the etymology shows, this term is related to

It is related to time, or to be more precise, it is related to the nature of simultaneity. If we do not use the word "simultaneity", we can also use the concept of "meaningful coincidence" of two or more events.

What is shown is not just a matter of probability.

Note 2: The principle of non-causal connection - the principle of synchronicity proposed by Jung is non-causal. It is considered to have no cause and no effect. It is a parallel relationship. Simply put, it is a non-causal connection between many events.
