Hi,

in the German internet forum the question arose, why there were neither a supersonic bang nor visible luminosic effects. It looks strange that a further skydiver appeared shortly after the stone passed the camera. But I aggree, the statistic argument is not valid, because *every* single event in our life can be calculated extremely improbable, a priori. If nobody wants it to have reproduced, the (a priori) likelyhood of a single event does not say it could have occured.

Greetings

Martin
