understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.

Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.

in 1997, i met a woman in London,A few months later, her father, who was living on another continent then died of a stroke after he was in a coma for a few weeks.During his stroke his wife asked him how old he was, he told her he was 28, That was my age at the time, He later died on the same day as my birthday. 9 months later our first son was born on the same day, same time including the time difference of the continents as her youngest brother. i often wondered why these events in our lives were synchronous with dates and times?
