My science teacher asked me to do this report??? I need some help.?

Question

Okay. I have to tell the SCIENTIFIC reason why there are some people that have bad luck just following them around. I.E. Why does one persons car wear out faster than the person right next to them that bought the same model car. Any help would be appreciated. i am kind of stuck on this

Answer 1

its logic...cars work best when taken care of...as a matter anything...so wat ugotta do is..point out the sientific maintainence part of the car- chk the site below..& take all the points that is needed to keep the car going smooth...

& if one doesnt do that sure the engine exhaust & thus car die sooner
u can get more deatils on that on the intenet try google search engine...all luck

Answer 2

Two men buy cars. The cars were made on the same day, by the same company within the same timeframe (within hours).

They were kept in the same condition until sold to the men.

They both take equal care of the car.

How could the cars be different? Well, the cars were never identical to start with. Every action that lead up to the final result was different in some small way. Each small action lead to a different path in the future of the car. The man could hit a small rock, which could rupture the tire and eventually lead to a blowout.

As for what you say about people having bad luck following them around seems made up. Luck is all random. Someone could roll a dice a thousand times and get straight 6's but that doesn't mean they are lucky. The dice just happened to land like that due to the ultimate vectors and forces imposed on it. We don't know these factors so the side that the dice lands on is random to us. As I said, it could land on 6 a thousand times, and that is possible, but highly unlikely. He could roll again and get a one with the exact same chance of it landing on six.

Chains of favorable events happen, but there is no such thing as a luck string, if that makes sense. It is just a string of random events, and if the outcome is favorable, we may perceive it as lucky, or unlucky if unfavorable. Just remember that things like that are random.

Example two: There are two men. They buy lottery tickets. Man A buys one and WINS! Man B buys a ticket and loses. They buy tickets each day until they die and man A always wins and man B always loses. Say they were to buy another ticket (assuming the lottery wasnt rigged), who would have a higher chance of winning? Truth- neither. They have an equal chance.

In short - Luck is just the outcome of a random event that is perceived favorable. And to answer your question, there is no scientific proof that someone can be unlucky.

Answer 3

Luck is just a mental game. The first person's car probably wore out faster because of the way he used it. For instance, Bill & Bob both bought trucks the day they turned 16. Bill went hot-rodding, showing off his baby. Ran it through mud pits to show what it could do, went off-roading with a bunch of buddies, etc. Bob on the other hand, played it safe, he used his truck for what it was needed, no excess abuse. Of course Bill's truck wore out faster. It wasn't bad luck it was bad judgment. That is why most things happen the way they do. Everything happens because of the choices we make.

Answer 4

there is a saying, you get what you project. similar to mind over matter
scientific maybe, ma ybe not. example: if one can see them self as
successful, sad, ugly, inferior, superior, or whatever, then their sub-conscience will project that image. granted there may be outside influences, but bad luck, no it is all in what you believe yourself to be.. referencing something mechanical like the car, not applicable at this point, (unless if is woefully misused), it is an object incapable of being. Another thought, science is sometimes a crap shoot, it is a never ending field of discovery. Why would your teacher think bad luck would be a subject of scientific meaning.

Answer 5

I don't think that this sort of information lends it self to finding a scientific reason for it's happening.

Put in a nut shell, some people just make more bad choices than others.

The more bad choices you make the more things will go wrong.

Bad driving habits lead to bad things happening.

Bad eating habits lead to poor health.

Not taking advantage of schooling leads to making bad choices.

How one handles their money can lead to bad things.

I would say that this covers most areas of things going wrong.

May be this will give you a little help

How best for you to get a scientific report out of these things is hard to say.

Answer 6

It is compeletely random that one persons car wears out faster than another, there COULD be bad luck, but there is no scientific reason.

Answer 7

How do each drive? Does one maintain differently than the other? Is one car left outside while the other is stored in a garage or carport? How far is each car driven? Does one let his teenager drive the car? Many variables.

Answer 8

got a few reports of my own to do

good luck
