Murphy's Law Explained

Murphy's Law Explained: Ever notice how when you’re sitting in a 4 lane traffic laden road, and the only column that’s not moving is yours? Or, how when you attempt a multiple choice question by strong-arming the options and reverse engineering the solution, the answer comes from the very last option you consider. Welcome to the land of Murphy.

Murphy’s law, which is conventionally stated as “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong", is probably one of the most cited adages of all time. Several manifestations of the law have found a place in the human mind, and some among those numerous offshoots are presented in this video.

I'm not sure if the traffic lane was a good example, because there's definitely a solid reason for that happening. Other people have the same idea to switch lanes, so the first lane clears up and the one you move into, which is suddenly way more packed than before, slows down. This is why if I'm driving in traffic I'll stay in the same lane the entire time, even if it's slower than the other lanes.

"Muphy's Law"
If it can possibly happen, it probably will
The Titanic; an unsinkable deal
Murphy's Law; more than plausible still
Don't say it can't happen ... for then it will
Murphy's Law teaches not to presume
Don't tempt fate like brazen buffoons
Humans are errant; perfection's assumed
Delusions of perceived perfection ... is doomed
If it can happen it most likely shall
Don't underestimate Murphy now
Remember Murphy's Law and rationale
And save yourself from unneeded fouls

There is some serious context missing here: Murphy’s law can seem pessimistic when applied to mundane examples like traffic, but I can assure you in engineering it is no joke.

Murphy’s essentially means that anything you engineer is guaranteed not to work until tested thoroughly (speaking as data scientist/software engineer)

@0:27 Everyone knows buttered toast lands face down, like a cat with its feet down. So I've combined the two for the world's first anti-gravity device. I strapped a piece of buttered toast facing up onto the back of a cat. Drop both from a height and watch until they suddenly stop in midair one foot above the floor jockeying for position never completing the fall.

Information here is incorrect; Murphy was an American aerospace engineer working in the 1940s, not the 19th century. It's also hard to understand and the images don't really illustrate Murphy's Law.

Murphy’s Law is more of a dark humor thing for soldiers to expect the worst and in turn prepare as much as one could for it.

Funny how Murphy's law, " Anything that can go wrong will go wrong" applies even in a game of chess. For any 'plan' you make out in a chess game, if there are 5 things right about it and 1 move destroys the plan, there isn't a 5/6 chance it'll work; it just won't.~ Levy from Gothamchess
