The Day that Nobody Died

I recently got into Doctor Who this past Christmas, I moved through the first 5 seasons of the relaunch series a matter of weeks. After a couple months waiting for the new season, I decide to put Torchwood, a Whoniverse spin-off, on my Netflix queue.  I don't actually like it as much Doctor Who, too much sex, and unsympathetic characters. However I see a lot of potential there, that's why I'm really excited about the new Torchwood: Miracle Day coming out on Starz. I loved the original work Starz has done with Spartacus, and Camelot.

The Starz version will move the show from Cardiff, Wales to Los Angeles, California with a new team and the surviving members of the Torchwood team returning.  What if nobody died?  The last day there was any report of anyone dying anywhere in the world, that was Miracle day.  It's got me thinking what if nobody died. I've been doing some calculations it turns out 70 thousand people die everyday. That's a little less the one person per a second (86400 seconds in per day). What are the odds that one second will go by and nobody will die. I'm a great mathematician, so I crunched the numbers and it turns out there is a 44% chance for any given day that one whole second will pass and no one will die. As we approach one minute the odds become astronomical, more accurately atomic near the value of a mole (6.022x10^23), 1 in 10^23.

So the odds that a day will go by on this planet with no one dying are so ridiculously large it's in all practical purposes impossible. If I were to dive in physics fiction, one way I image we could beat the odds is to manipulate everyone's world-lines such that our time-lines are in a loop. The world would go on like normal only all the molecule in our bodies at the end of every time loop will revert back to their original state. Essential you could die but you would come back, for those that have seen Doctor Who or Torchwood, I'm pretty much describing Jack's condition.
