Actually, I think there is such a thing as "luck". Today, we've gotten so far in the field of statistics, but no ones been able to really explain why things in our every day world, such as any data we collect, a series of events -- all follow the Normal Distribution, aka the Bell Curve.

The normal distribution curve is staple to almost every facet in statistics, and as the number of your samples increases, the more your data becomes like a normal distribution.

Luck is a phenomenon, in my opinion. It's a mix of statistics, science, and some weird, other-worldy stuff.

no one?

i remember theres something called a central limit theory (or sth like that), which explain why independent events tend to follow normal distribution
