The 18th century witnessed a unique confluence of theology and mathematics in the life of Reverend Thomas Bayes. While his primary vocation lay in serving as a Presbyterian minister, Bayes' enduring legacy rests on his groundbreaking work in probability theory, which laid the foundation for the influential field of Bayesian statistics [1]. Though details surrounding his life remain scarce, Bayes' posthumously published work on probability has had a transformative effect on various scientific disciplines. Notably, his formulation of Bayes' theorem offers a powerful framework for updating probabilities based on the incorporation of new evidence [1]. This concept revolutionized statistical inference, enabling researchers to move beyond static probabilities and account for evolving knowledge. The applications of Bayes' theorem are extensive. In the realm of machine learning, algorithms leverage this theorem to continuously refine their accuracy as they encounter new data se...
Ever wondered why you were born on this planet/universe and not in any other if they actually do exist ? Have you ever thought about why you aren't something else, like an innocent dog? Allow me to make a succinct intro about myself. I will confess to you that I am an avid believer of Many-Worlds Interpretation (MWI). Just to make it simple without delving into technical Quantum Mechanics terms (which I am less familiar with), in simple terms, and according to my layman understanding, this just "imply" that our current state "which is me currently typing this first blog", and you reading it in the future(your current state), is just one of an infinitely many universes referred by many as multiverse world. In summary, the "probability/chance" that I am writing this blog is not only a fraction like one-seventh (the probability that today is Friday) but one in an infinitely many Goolplexillion of Goolplexillions events. Yes, that is the probability ri...
