‘How Do You Know If The Same Raindrop Hits You Twice?’, is a short film which proposes a possible future for science where capital is no longer the driving force for research. Subsequently, the more poetic questions of our natural world are beginning to be answered.
According to reddit user ‘dljens’ on r/shittyaskscience, there is approximately 216 (65536) forms which a raindrop can take, therefore a non-zero probability that an identical raindrop has hit you twice exists.
The project questions how we as humans decide what is desirable or important to know, and whether this landscape may change through what Paul Humphrey’s refers to as the ‘Hybrid Model’.
