hello,
Yesterday someone asked me a philosophical  question :Why many things have Normal distribution ( or at least approximately)?
My answer: It is a type of symmetry we observe in nature..  maybe a String Theory specialist may have a technical answer.
How do you answer that question?
CLT maybe ? 

Regards,
Vinicius
