hello,
Yesterday someone asked me a philosophical question :Why many things have Normal distribution ( or at least approximately)?
My answer: It is a type of symmetry we observe in nature.. maybe a String Theory specialist may have a technical answer.
How do you answer that question?
CLT maybe ?
Regards,
Vinicius
