You probably remember that one time as a kid you got lost in the market and grabbed a lady’s hand, only to look at her face and realize it was not your mom.
The probability of finding someone who looks like you is extremely slim, but not impossible. This lookalike can be known as a “doppelganger,” which is a person who is a biologically unrelated look-alike of someone else, also known as a “double.”
In fiction and mythology, doppelgangers are usually considered to be bad luck, or your “evil twin.” And meeting yours has been considered to cause misfortune. But the good news is the chances of you running into your evil twin isn’t likely. So you’re safe! For now…
