The Screwdriver Tree - Advice for the depressed or those without hope
Created | Updated Jan 28, 2002
Well take some heart from this simple mathematical thought.
Premise: The Universe is infinitely large.
Statistical therory tells us that in an infinitely large sample space (which and infinitely large Universe with and infinite number of planets must surely be) anything is posible.
So if ANYTHING is posible, somewhere in the Universe there must be a plantet where a tree grows that bears screwdrivers as fruit.
If something as wonerfully bizare as a screwdriver tree is posible then somewhere in the vastness of our Universe there is at least one sentient lifeform that is worse off than you are.
So take heart and remember the Screwdriver Tree!!
