Let's say, you've lost a coin flip three times in a row. It landed on heads each single time. Now, when you go flip that coin again, it still has the same 50/50 chance of landing on heads again...

Why? How is it possible? The event of it landing 4 times in a row on heads is highly improbable, so why is it still a fifty fifty, it doesn't make sense, how can the previous events not affect the probability of the new one considering how unlikely it is?
