 It's kind of crazy to think about. Fun fact: we've had an INCREDIBLE (God like) lucky block that would have solved a block that needed 97 coin flips in a row which is 500,000 times the currently difficulty. And this was way back in block #756951. The miner was 5 trillion times luckier than average to find this block. Good luck explaining that (impossible)
