Murphy’s law
November 17th, 2014
Murphy’s law anticipated the Everett-Wheeler conjecture (viz., “all permutations will be explored”).
Which I find ironic, considering that neither Everett nor Wheeler wrote about keyed connectors at all.

If E-W is correct, then there’s a universe where everything has always gone wrong. There’s also a universe where everything has always gone right. In the former, Murphy was just an idiot who stated the obvious. In the latter, Murphy was an idiot who stated a blatant falsehood. Only in the “middle” universes does Murphy get any respect.

Yes.
But there are far more “middle” universes. Far, far more.
