You can't go around asking about random things without using their definitions.
Physics are the natural law of everything, excluding them from a conversation does not make much sense either.
Show me a statistic that proves that fate is more probable than luck.
I dare you.
Redundant you are forgetting logic and reason don't apply to these people.
On topic: fate is non-existent and we can't prove it does exist (yet) so there's no point pondering it. Luck has nothing to do with Fate it is just a random event that we can't predict, finding $50 on the ground is luck.

Maybe it's luck that dosen't exist and you were always ment to find that $50
If it was never ment to happen why did it?

Maybe fate governs our lives, no one knows for sure, but the fact that we don't know means that we shouldn't assume it does exist :P
Luck vs Fate:
1) Luck: Rolling three " 6's " in a row at Caesar's pallace cashing in and having a dry-spell for the next-10-rolls or so..
2) Fate is synchronistic (Carl Jung);
A) Rolling three " 6's " as above.... then
B) Giving the waitress a twenty-dollar-bill; and receiving in change $6.66 back..
C) Checking into a hotel-room where the only room left is, you guessed level 6 and room ' 666 '
D) Freaking out, you think 'God' or the 'Powers-that-be' is or will condemn you in this life or the one to come, you decide to call for room-service which happens to be on your phone dialed as ' #6 '; different yet potentially the same...
E) A family with 6-children checks in the room, who one of the children starts to choke on six-marbles that he just placed in his mouth, the mother screams frantically, you go to see what's the matter....and thank God for those First-Aid classes you took on 6th street save the child's life...
F) You realize that at least in this case, God or the Powers-that-Be were merely initiating you and testing to see if you would allow coincidence(fate) to make you cringe or rise to the challenge to those in need...you chose the latter....so.....
G) You have a dry-spell and wonder when the next episode of fate will materialize in your life, and regardless of wether it does or not, you are richer, wiser, and more appreciative of that day that you differentiated the difference between:
H) Luck and Fate...
Source(s):
Luck = Coincidence without context
Fate = Coincidence with a repeating context that may or not be apparent to the 'victim' or 'victor'...
