When A Durian Drop...

Given,

\(p_x=\cfrac{n_{\lambda\,e\_x}.\Delta Q}{mc^2}\)

from the post "Ding Dong And A Small Peck" dated 10 May 2016.

When,

\(\cfrac{\Delta Q}{mc^2}=1\)

\(p_x=n_{\lambda\,e\_x}\)

Which means, from the Poisson Distribution Plot with \(\lambda=1.6678205\),

where time was scaled by \(10^9\), the most probable occurrence happens at the peak of the curve around

\(Probability=0.30\)

of one encounter in \(10^9\) seconds.  This translates to one entanglement event in \(11574.07\,\, days\)!

Rare, but given the number of particles around, entanglement happens all the time.

Ouch!
