It would be so weird if we knew just as much as we needed to know to answer all the questions of the universe. Wouldn't that be freaky? Whereas the probability is high that there is a vast reality that we have no way to perceive, that's actually bearing down on us now and influencing everything.

  • -- George Saunders 山德斯

如果我们能知道足够多的东西来回答宇宙的所有问题,那就太奇怪了。这不是很奇怪吗?虽然有很高的可能性是存在着一个我们无法感知的巨大现实,但这实际上正在向我们施加压力,影响着一切。

Probability is expectation founded upon partial knowledge. A perfect acquaintance with all the circumstances affecting the occurrence of an event would change expectation into certainty, and leave nether room nor demand for a theory of probabilities.

概率是建立在部分知识基础上的期望。完全了解所有影响事件发生的情况,就会把期望变成确定性,从而为概率理论留下空间和需求。

From principles is derived probability, but truth or certainty is obtained only from facts.

概率论来自原理,但真理或确定性只能从事实中获得。

Beware of geeks bearing formulas.
