Sorry; i miscounted the number of charactes in my bitcoin app as they are set into sets of 4 so I assumed there were 5.5 sets instead of the actual 8.5 sets!

Are you now satisfied as far as your original question is concerned?

Do you often worry that someday all of the oxygen molecules in the room you are in will spontaneously drift away from the part of the room you are in and you would die? After all, that could happen, right? It is not impossible, right?

It is impossible for all of the oxygen to spontaneouly move away from you in a room as there would have to be a less dense particle beneath it, to push it up and it wouldn't do so.

I imagine BurtW was assuming the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics (look up "quantum tunnelling" for more). Under this interpretation, the conception of air as a collection of particles bumping into one another is only an approximation to the truth.
