Flip a coin. | Minnie Hwang | TEDxChadwick International School

If a coin lands, was it really 50/50? This Tedx-talk directly challenges the idea that our society must accept probabilities. Probabilities never described our world, it described our assumptions on it. So, it probability is more based on assumption, than it is on truth, to what extend can we really depend on "the odds"? Let me take you on a journey, to how a coin flip, would become the biggest lie humanity has ever believed. From the biggest world inventors, to the kid at the back of the class. Because, at the end, the people who made history were not the players of the game, but rather the designers of it. You cannot beat something you've never questioned. Minnie (Minyoung) Hwang is a 7th grade middle school student at Chadwick International in Songdo, South Korea. She enjoys exploring philosophical dilemmas and has a habit of questioning just about everything. In Korean tradition, during a child’s 100th-day, known as a “돌잔치,” babies are presented with objects that symbolically predict their future. Minnie chose a microphone. And in many ways, that was the beginning of her journey. Minnie believes that one of the most powerful things a person can do is simply to speak up, and encourages all the viewers to do the same. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
