There is some minuscule probability, he said, "the Large Hadron Collider might make dragons that might eat us up".
When something like this shows up, ninety-nine times out of a hundred it's a speck of dust (one can't be too clean in the workplace) or a microscopic defect in the emulsion; but there is also the minuscule probability that it's a nova, and one has to make a report, subject to confirmation.
Simply put, though, a minuscule chance of a hostile bid is not much of a threat.
"If you talk to the average citizen, they're very concerned about terrorism, but in reality the probability of the threat is so minuscule it shouldn't be on the radar," says McIndoe. "When it comes to risks, there are huge gaps between perception and reality".
In our proposed random walk based framework, inspired by the algorithm of Google PageRank, randomness is introduced by permitting each gene to choose one patient to hop and each individual patient to choose one gene to hop randomly for minuscule amount of probability.
Since we know that for every 1010 antimatter particles, or antibaryons, the universe must have 1010 + 1 baryons, we are also certain that the baryon-favoring asymmetry is one part in 1010, which means the probability of any matter existing at all is minuscule.
In contrast, those who live in densely populated districts have a lower probability of receiving immunisation, although the effect is minuscule in size.
Even if there are many millions of stem cells in any tissue and the lifetime risk of breast cancer is 10%, the probability of developing a cancer would thus be minuscule according to this model.
"And Nevada, probability of zero.
