Synchronicity

Synchronicity is a concept introduced by Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung, describing the occurrence of meaningful coincidences that may even seem prophetic. These events are often so unlikely that they cannot be dismissed as mere chance. Examples of synchronicity include the case of two women in the United States who shared the same name, birthdate, and social security number, despite the extremely low probability of such an event. Another example is the eerie similarity between the sinking of the Titanic and a novel called 'Futility' published 14 years earlier, which featured a ship called the Titan that also sank after colliding with an iceberg in April. While some of these coincidences may be explained by probability and chance, the accumulation of such events can be seen as nothing short of miraculous. The likelihood of these coincidences occurring simultaneously is extremely low, making them all the more intriguing and unexplainable.
