Has anyone managed to break Murphy's law?

It is really just what we, as humans, take notice of. We always take notice when things go wrong.

My daughter dropped a cinnamon roll yesterday. It did land iced side down, but on a piece of paper instead of the floor. Does that count? I still let her eat it.

Have you ever heard of Murphy’s justice? No? That’s because those who are guilty of breaking Murphy’s law are taken care of quickly and quietly. Let no good deed go unpunished! (Motto of Murphy’s police).

Gawd, no! That’s a felony!

The multiverse does break it. If it exists.

Murphy was an optimist.

It’s not a law. Its a theory. That’s why it has not been disproved (broken) yet. in fact, not even a theory: a hypothesis

If one performed an experiment to confirm Murphy’s Law and nothing went wrong, what should one to conclude?

@marinelife You’ve probably got the right answer there. @Supacase Excellent example of the law being broken. Thanks. @wundayatta Ha! Thanks for the laugh. @mattbrowne The multiverse, if it exists, averts Murphy’s Law but breaks Occams’s Razor, so it’s in trouble just the same. :-)

@ratboy What an excellent point. Great thought-experiment answer.

@ETpro – Good point!
