Yes there is a typo there back at the bubbles of spacE!
So that I would talk more about this simple little thing and what it might mean.
So in space zero G, the air inside is perfectly harmonious and balanced and so equal pressure the elasticity of the bubble equal the liquid has tensile strength it is hollow for all intents and purposes no center of mass gravity so it is perfect geometry.
Yet pi goes on forever.
And why is that? What is the magic secret of this geometry?
pi does not exist it is a mental construct.
The actual universe does not even use pi.
That is us using an approximation.
And that is how it avoids that one infinity.
That might mess up its perfect geometry.
What else can we glean from this by way of statistics?
Things are directly proportional to their past. Hence we have statistics.
So when things change they don't change in random ways they change in predictable ways.
Directly related to their past.
If you ever see a real jump in statistical data you should expect it is wrong.
We can say well that was a fast jump, but never a direct jog immediate change.
It is fluid in that way not blocks tumbling at random.
So how we predict things using statistics has a lot more potential and mystery if we were able to somehow grasp some of these concepts.
Lets just look at simple ones from Pascal
Blaise Pascal was a very influential French mathematician and philosopher who contributed to many areas of mathematics. He worked on conic sections and projective geometry and in correspondence with Fermat he laid the foundations for the theory of probability.

He has an interesting mystic hexigram here
https://mathshistory.st-andrews.ac.uk/Diagrams/PascalTheorem.gif
Mysticism to a mathematician he invented the first computer, and claimed that he got his information form God in a experience of enlightenment of a sort.
We might be able to find his account in a book called Cosmic Consciousness by Richard M. Bucke 1900 or so.
Is this like Eureka or something else? Ok they found a document sowed into his jacket after he died.
"he paper copy, however, in Pascal's hand, is still extant in the Bibliotheque Nationale. Paris. It was Cordocet
p. 274
who gave the document the name of "Pascal's Mystic Amulette" [112a: 156].
Translated into English the words of the amulet are as follows: "The year of grace 1654, Monday, 23 November, day of St. Clement, Pope and Martyr. From about half-past ten in the evening until about half-past twelve, midnight, FIRE. God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob, not of the philosophers nor of the Wise. Assurance, joy, assurance, feeling, joy, peace. God of Jesus Christ, my God and thy God. Thy God shall be my God. Forgotten of the world and of all except God. He is only found in the ways taught in the Gospel. The sublimity of the human soul. Just Father, the world has not known thee but I have known thee. Joy, joy, joy, tears of joy. I do not separate myself from thee. They left me behind, me a fountain of living water. My God, do not leave me. Let me not be separated from thee eternally. This is eternal life that they should know thee the only true God and him whom thou hast sent. Jesus Christ—Jesus Christ. I have separated myself from him; I have fled, renounced, crucified him. Let me not be forever separated from him. One is saved only by the teaching of the Gospel. Reconciliation total and sweet. Total submission to Jesus Christ and to my director. Continual joy for the days of my life on earth. I shall not forget what you have taught me. Amen." *"
So anyway whatever it was that happened to him he kept that document sowed into his jacket.
And invented the first computer is known for air pressure and of course probability theory.
"probability theory, a branch of mathematics concerned with the analysis of random phenomena. The outcome of a random event cannot be determined before it occurs, but it may be any one of several possible outcomes. The actual outcome is considered to be determined by chance."
So in that Ted talk she is saying flips of a coin and then saying it manages to still get the answer or similar due to probability theory.
What is the key part of this well flip a coin and flip a coin like go to Vegas, and you are on a roll, are you in fact on a roll?
No. Since every roll is unique unto itself.
Flip 30 coins and they have a probability but do they?
Wait a year flip 31 is that now still part of that or does time affect it?
You see just because you have flipped 100 coins and are working on the statistic regarding what the outcome will be its erroneous.
You see there is no relation between any of those coin flips unless your hand is maybe affecting it.
so even with statistical analysis there is no way to predict what the next flip should or shouldn't be because they are not sufficiently related to each other by causation.
