Galen Beckett...it seems to me that sometimes-or perhaps I might venture most of the time-occurrences have no cause at all. New stars appear and old ones vanish. Short hats become popular again. Things are as they are and do as they please for absolutely no reason at all.
About This Quote
The reason why something happens, even if it is “for no reason at all”, is that there is always a reason for everything. This theory is also known as the "Random Walk" hypothesis. This theory says that there is no "set of rules" for how things happen. Instead, everything happens by chance.
For example, if you flip a coin and it lands on heads, this is because the sides were equal. The coin has no way of knowing if it was going to land on heads or tails before it was flipped.
