Rien Ne Va Plus

What do scientists make of coincidences? I'm sure most have some clever hypothesis to explain them away as random probabilities, but I prefer the theory of Deepak Chopra in Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire: The Essence of Harnessing the Power of Coincidence. Here he says, "When you live your life with an appreciation of coincidences and their meanings, you connect with the underlying field of infinite possibilities. This is when the magic begins.""Georg Aeberhard's individual coincidences are lined up in a chronological order but you may pick every one by itself. The stories reach from Prague to San Francisco, they are biographical, each one telling a unique occurrence, sometimes short as an anecdote, sometimes a full story several pages long."Yes, the magic! This book is filled with one life's coincidences and the magical alchemy of fate.
