Although the probability of collision of NEOs with the Earth is very low, they represent a potential threat to the planet.

There's an inherent problem with low probability events.

(a) Risk of causing significant transboundary harm includes risks taking the form of a high probability of causing significant transboundary harm and a low probability of causing disastrous transboundary harm

This is very, very low.

The 9.0 magnitude earthquake that struck Japan is, of course, a highly exceptional event an event so rare that its probability cannot be well assessed with models based on limited historic data. Events with very low probability but high impact so called tail risks have also been at the heart of the financial crisis.

It's a very, very simple example, an easily stated question in probability, which every you're in good company everybody gets wrong.

The biggest one is that it was the type of disaster to which policymakers pay too little attention one that has a very low or unknown probability of occurring, but that creates enormous losses if it does occur. Great as the death toll, physical and emotional suffering of survivors, and property damage caused by the tsunami were, even greater losses could be inflicted by other disasters of low (but not negligible), or unknown, probability.

In fact, as psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky have shown, there is a systematic human tendency to downgrade the perceived probability of low probability events, so that people go about their lives as if the probability of these events occurrence is zero. Similarly, humans tend to accept large downside risks in order to avoid small certain losses, such as insurance premiums.

We invented something called an ion drive, which is a very, very, very low thrust engine.

Well, let's first look at the probability and this is very, very difficult to estimate but there have been only four studies on this in recent years, which is surprising.

So, while global markets arguably have been rationally complacent, financial contagion cannot be ruled out. A century ago, financial markets priced in a very low probability that a major conflict would occur, blissfully ignoring the risks that led to World War I until late in the summer of 1914.
