Coincidence literally describes two or more events or entities occupying the same point in space or time, but colloquially means two or more events or entities possessing unexpected parallels, such as thinking about someone and then receiving an unexpected phone call from that person, when it is clear that there is no ordinary causal connection. The index of coincidence can be used to analyze whether two events are related. A coincidence does not prove a relationship, but related events may be expected to have a higher index of ...

The term coincidence theory is used by proponents of controversial theories (often called conspiracy theorists) to counter those who dismiss their claims; they mean to express thus that these dismissals rely on too many coincidences to be plausible. The term is sometimes used to ridicule or dismiss an argument by implying that the theory is unworthy of serious consideration. The dispute arises when, after a complex or controversial historical event, a more-or-less simple explanation is officially stated which is accepted by the ...

According to Carl Johan Calleman, The forthcoming Venus Transit will coincide with dramatic changes for Islam; “In this new light created by the unification of Venus with the sun, only those aspects of Islam that fully embrace the feminine and the “unbelievers” will be able to survive.”

Synchronicity is a word coined by the Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung to describe the temporally coincident occurences of acausal events. It was a principle that he felt compassed his concept of the collective unconscious, in that it was descriptive of a governing dynamic that underlay the whole of human experience and history—social, emotional, psychological, and spiritual. Jung believed that many experiences perceived as coincidence were due not merely to chance, but instead potentially reflected the manifestation of coincident events or circumstances consequent to this governing dynamicIncluding:

When a scandal breaks, the discovery of an attempt to cover up the evidence of wrongdoing is often regarded as even more scandalous than the original deeds. Typically, a cover-up draws an entire organization, or sometimes only its leadership, into complicity in covering up a crime that may have originally been committed by a few of its members. This is often regarded as tacit approval of that behaviour. Some cover-ups are successful (by the simple fact no one can confirm one). Most fail, however, due to the nature of cover-ups to entail more manpower, more resources, and thus leave too much evidence and too m ...

"Conspiracism" is a term used by social scientists and scholars to refer to adherents of conspiracy theory and their way of looking at history and the world around them. The term was popularized by academic Frank P. Mintz in the 1980s. According to Mintz, conspiracism denotes: "belief in the primacy of conspiracies in the unfolding of history" (1985: p.4): "Conspiracism serves the needs of diverse political and social groups in America and elsewhere. It identifies elites, blames them for economic and social catastrophes, ...

The scapegoat was a goat that was driven off into the wilderness as part of the ceremonies of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, in Judaism during the times of the Temple in Jerusalem. The rite is described in Leviticus 16. The word also refers, in modern parlance, to one who is blamed for misfortunes, often as a way of distracting attention from the real causes.

Some items are false, some inaccurate, and some misleading, for example: There is no record of a Lincoln secretary named Kennedy. Oswald was not known as "Lee Harvey Oswald" prior to the Kennedy assassination, simply as "Lee Oswald". The fact that Booth and Oswald were born 101 years apart is not an example of a coincidence. If they were born 100 years apart, that would qualify as a coincidence matching the fact that the ...

When a team is shorthanded due to a penalty, upon its expiration the penalized player returns to the ice immediately and can join the play in progress. For penalties where a player must go to the penalty box but the team does not play shorthanded, the player must remain there after the penalty until there is a stoppage in play for some reason. When two penalties of the same type (for example, two minor penalties) occur during the same stoppage of play, they are said to be coincident. In most leagues, coincident penalties do not cause a team to be shorthanded; the penalized play ...

Since the theory of synchronicity is not testable according to the classical scientific method, it is not widely regarded as scientific at all, but rather as pseudoscientific or an example of magical thinking. However, it is doubtful that Jung would have considered the theory to be scientifically testable. Probability theory can attempt to explain events such as the plum pudding incident in our normal world, without any interference by any universal alignment forces. However, the correct variables required for actually computing the p ...
