<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ErolGarip, post: 2855153, member: 88736&quot;]How did I miss that!? And, it was in 1993 the years when I was doing some mathematical physics of the chaos. Anyway, it is in probability&amp;statistics field which I am not so good at. I&#039;d like to read whole article, not this abstract only, to see how they did the physics experiments. But, it is for sale. Anyway. I can think of how they modelled the coin toss (probably, they used a &quot;perfect&quot; thin cylinder for computational simulation of the 5cent nickel coin with the same dimensions in the simulation). But, its physics experiments? I can guess only as I don&#039;t see the article. I don&#039;t think they did tossing the coin tousands and millions times, that can take a long time. Maybe, they &quot;poured&quot; tens of tousands of 5cent coin onto the table several times and they counted &quot;heads&quot;, &quot;tails&quot; and &quot;edges&quot;. And, they found 1 edge in 6000 tosses... ? I found this unbelievable... In my life, maybe, I&#039;ve done millions of tosses and add billions of tosses I&#039;ve seen by others, I&#039;ve never seen any coin landed on its edge... Maybe, they got this 1 coin edge in 6000 tosses in some &quot;perfected&quot; lab conditions. (anyway, I may also talk about this in &quot;coin with/out numerals&quot; thread so that math prof whose specilazition is probability&amp;statistics may see and explain how that experiment might be done.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Ps: I may start to collect the coin. Those coins that can land on their edges when tossed will be the coins I&#039;ll collect (lol).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
