"If anything can go wrong, will go wrong" What is this theory?
Suppose tomorrow is your exam There are many chapters in the syllabus After checking all of them, he thought that he would skip 2 chapters and read them. Maybe it will come from the rest. But when I went to the exam hall, I was in a state of insanity. The questions in the exam came from the 2 chapters which he left out And the best read has no name or smell. Has that ever happened?
Or let's say another story.
A task has been completed with great difficulty. You know, there is no mistake in any work you have done, but at the last moment, you see that there is a mistake somewhere. This sudden realization is embarrassing you. Immediately you are getting frustrated, you may be sitting down and blaming your luck, this is what happened to me!
We are sorry for your disappointment, but is there any way to explain the unexpected events that happened to you? Did you know, in fact, science can be found in these phenomena as well? Yes, indeed!
An interesting theory/ theory or formula as to the cause of such sudden and unexpected events became so popular in 1949 that a whole book was written about it! Yes, I am talking about the much-talked-about Murphy's Law today. The doctrine m. Edward Murphy says here-
'If anything can go wrong, will go wrong
"Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong" - there are many stories, and examples on this topic. However, even before him in 1884, a man named Jam Paine mentioned an interesting idea about butter and bread.
In his theory, when buttered bread accidentally falls from our hands, we almost always know why the buttered side of the bread ends up on the other side. Come to think of it, that's what happens most of the time. Or maybe the day he didn't go out with an umbrella, on that day the clouds gathered in the sky and started raining!
Mr. Edward Murphy served in the US Army. Mr. Edward Murphy and Captain John Polstap undertook a project in 1949 to detail aircraft development security at America's Moork Field Air Base. Their project aimed to observe how much a pilot could actually handle against the sudden acceleration of gravity while piloting the plane, thus determining how much "g.force" the pilots were experiencing.
Mr. Murphy's assistant connected all the necessary wires and made other preparations for the test. Still, Mr. Murphy tried several times during the original test and found that nothing was being understood and no results were being obtained from the G.Force determination. He became worried about it, fearing that there had been a security breach!
As Mr. Murphy discovers the cause, his assistant has misplaced the four necessary wires. It was possible to connect the wires in two different efficient ways, but his assistant did not use any method to connect the wires between the two! He got very angry and called his research team and said,
"If an act is done or is likely to be done in a wrong way, someone at some stage must do it in a wrong way or the act will be done in a wrong way."
Observer John Polstap then took Mr. Murphy's words very seriously and made sure that the same mistake did not happen again during the next test. It became very popular at the time due to the real-life parallels of Mr. Edward Murphy.
Further elaborating on Murphy's theory in 1996, researcher Robert A. J. Matthews said that Murphy's Law is not just luck, but a form supported by full physics.
Again, according to the theory of probability and statistics, Murphy's Law is very much related to reality.
According to the discussion of probability, the probability of an action being good or bad is equal and if the work situation and conditions are in favor of the action being done badly, then it can be assumed mathematically that the action will happen fairly badly or wrongly.
Murphy's law can also be explained statistically. For example, if the success rate of a task is very low in different fields and people, then that task is considered difficult or very impossible. Although you try to complete the work with full zeal, you may not get success in various analyses and manners. Which somewhat illustrates Murphy's Law here.
Again, according to Murphy's law, there can be many such works, whose failures support the regularity and important acceptance of physics. For example, thermodynamics states that the entropy of the universe will continue to increase and heat cannot be completely converted into work. Defying the constancy of physics, however, the Carnot engine can be envisioned to provide a total amount of work with a total amount of heat. But in fact, it is not possible to build any engine that we know of, which exposes the possibility of failures in the operation of Murphy's law in another way. Robert AJ Mathews was also awarded the "IG Nobel" prize for this opinion.
Psychological science can be traced back to Murphy's Law.
It cannot be said that the results of all human-made works will be 100% correct. And psychologically, we tend to think more about the things that go wrong than the things that go right. And later, if the inconsistency is revealed in some other work, I establish a connection between the new work in the conscious or subconscious mind with the previously negative experience. Previous mistakes also alert us to comparative biases during subsequent tasks, so the probability of success can increase.
If so, it is better to call Murphy's Law a philosophical doctrine than a mathematical one. Yet Murphy's Law can also be related to science in various ways.
