How do you know it ever lands in the same place again? This is Zeno.
There is infinite infinitesimal possibility for location. This is the continuum hypothesis. We cannot predict exactly where the knob will land ever due to the infinitely small and infinite amount of places to land. You can never put it back in the exact same place. The odds become one out of infinity. Mitch Raemsch Twice Nobel Laureate 2008 |
