Dad: Son, what keeps two people from generating the same seed words?
Son: Nothing, Dad, except gigantic numbers.
This number is so large the human mind cannot comprehend its vast space. Think of every atom in the universe, it's almost that big.
If nearly everyone on Earth started generating 1 million keys per second for 100 years, the chance to encounter a collision is still pretty much zero.
Dad: Can one rest assured that as long as seed words are randomly generated, no two parties should ever generate a colliding key?
Son: Yes, Dad. Vires in Numeris.
