Is the probability that all types of prizes will be together for the first time maximized when the majority of prizes are removed from the box? Simulations based on probability theory show that this probability reaches its maximum value in a surprisingly small number of trials, contrary to expectations. This will help us understand not only mathematical phenomena, but also real-world phenomena. Phenomena that do not occur without several substances or conditions seem unlikely to occur, but the results of this study suggest that, contrary to expectations, they are surprisingly likely to occur probabilistically.展开更多

It comes as a big surprise, even thoughthe winner has been nominated repeatedly. The main reason for the surprise is becauseof Dylan's identity as a popular artist, since the Nobel Prize in Literature has longbeen closely associated with the so-called mainstream serious literature. As a matterof fact, Bob Dylan deserves the prize in every way in terms of his contribution to thecontemporary culture, his great achievement and powerful influence. Regarding thisphenomenon, this paper illustrates the positive significance of Dylan’s award fromseveral aspects, including the origin and original features of poetry, the historicalchanges of literary concept, the close relationship between literature and art, thevitality of popular culture, etc. A discussion is also given to the world’s reflectionon literature, or the attributes, function and mode of transmission of literature in theacademic field triggered by Dylan’s award.展开更多
