The concept of chance is the one that refers to all acts or fortuitous situations that are not generated by logic or for calculated reasons and that have unexpected or difficult to measure consequences. Chance is normally related to games and different recreational activities, but nevertheless it can be present in a myriad of situations or circumstances of everyday life, when something happens unexpectedly or by chance.
Chance is primarily linked to the notion of spontaneity, that something arises or happens unexpectedly and therefore cannot be measurable with man-made laws (such as mathematics or logic). Although man can get as close as possible to certain results that are a consequence of some level of chance, the divination of them will never be complete since otherwise, if an event or event could be predicted in a total way, we would not be talking of chance.
The notion of chance has in some cases negative meanings since it is something that humans cannot measure and that, therefore, cannot foresee or prevent. Chance implies that some circumstances can become dangerous or tragic precisely due to this condition of not being able to be foreseen under the normal parameters of logic created by the human being.
Chance is present not only in issues such as particular coincidences (such as finding a ticket in the street) but also with different branches of science such as quantum physics or some mathematical actions that do not have a fully understood logic or meaning. by the human being. In addition, the notion of chance is also found in philosophy when it refers to the idea that human beings arrive in this world as a product of chance and not of their own choice.
