Dr. Manhattan: Thermodynamic miracles…events with odds against so astronomical they’re effectively impossible, like oxygen spontaneously becoming gold. I long to observe such a thing. And yet, in each human coupling, a thousand million sperm vie for a single egg. Multiply those odds by countless generations, against the odds of your ancestors being alive, meeting, siring this precise son, that exact daughter…
…Until your mother loves a man she has every reason to hate, and of that union, of the thousand million children competing for fertilization, it was you, only you, that emerged.
To distill so specific a form from that chaos of improbability, like turning air to gold…
That is the crowning unlikelihood.
The thermodynamic miracle.
Laurie: But…if me, my birth, if that’s a thermodynamic miracle…I mean, you could say that about anybody in the world!
Dr. Manhattan: Yes.
Anybody in the world.
ETA: Because I’m a pedant, typical sperm count range from 15 million to 200 million, but Dr. Osterman was a physicist, not an endocrinologist.
We may be special snowflakes, but we’ll melt in the heat all the same.
