🎲🌀 How do mathematicians find patterns in unpredictable events? This #video explains randomness through Michel Talagrand's groundbreaking work on mathematical inequalities.

Random events follow patterns called "normal distributions". After 1,000 coin flips, getting only heads is almost impossible—randomness becomes predictable within limits.

These are the 2025 #Roman denarius coins from Tune on Gotland, bringing the site total up to eleven. All were struck in AD 138-180, during the reigns of Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius. Except for F3: Septimius Severus AD 202-210.

Old worn denarius coins reached the Baltic area in enormous numbers in the AD 300s, apparently as a bullion payment to troublesome barbarians. These six coins were probably dropped on site in the AD 400s.

**Exclusive: 'Turk-Kagan' coin discovery reshapes early Turkic history, says Uzbek professor**

“_Perhaps most significantly, the “Turk-Kagan” coins predate the famed Orkhon inscriptions—those of Tonyukuk, Kultegin, and Bilge Kagan—by more than 150 years. This pushes back the earliest known written usage of “Turk” and “Turk-Kagan” to the late sixth or early seventh century A.D._”
