Every time you shuffle there’s a good chance that it’s the first time in history a deck of cards has ever been ordered in that way.
Yeah, that's how the video starts. It's just incredible.

What's amazing about the number of real numbers on that interval is that they are uncountably infinite. For natural numbers, they are infinite, but at least you can find where to start counting. For the reals, you can't even find the first real number after 0.

Its like what are the two chances of siblings being born on the same day that are not twins. The first reaction is 1/365 × 1/365. But the first sibling is guaranteed to be born on a certain day a hundred percent chance not 1/÷365. The second sibling has as much chance to land on the same day as the first born does and that is 1 / 365

Yeah, but think about if you picked October 4th. What are the chances both would be born on October 4th?

The number of atoms in the observable universe is essentially zero compared to the number of unique images your TV can display.

Between any two non-identical real numbers.

I'm pretty sure October 4th count as a day

It always astounds me when people domt think outside the box.
Every card can also be flipped over. Introducing another set of permutations.

Yet blackjack dealers constantly seem to find ways to arrange them such that the sum of their values is 21...

Dealing from a single deck there are 1326 different combinations that can yield 21 on the initial hand, probability of receiving one of those combinations is 1.18%

I am willing to bet the chances are much higher than 1/365. Their are usually sexual patterns in a relationship. Their are more babies born in certain months regardless then when you factor in it is the same couple having the baby. Same anniversary same climate, same birthdays etc. I would guess it is 1/200

Well yeah, in practice not all days of the year are created equal.
However, if you assume they are all equally likely, some interesting things can happen.
In a room of 23 random people, there is a 50% chance at least two people share the same birthday.
In a room of 75 random people, there is a 99.9% chance at least two people share the same birthday.

I've heard that before and have decided I don't believe it. Scientists don't know how many atoms there are in the universe. How can they possibly know this?

Some reasonable estimates can be made.

Here is something else very odd:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + ... to infinity = -(1/12)
That's right, the sum of all positive integers is a small negative fraction.
