About Synchronicity
Some modern mathematicians argue that synchronicity is simply the result of a world in which there are an infinite number of potential coincidences. As a result, a coincidence that might seem supernatural to us could be explained away by a mathematician who points out all of the coincidences that didn't occur. But where's the fun in that?
