when I look at https://btc.com/ (all the time) to see if kanopool or slushpool did find a block -my personal favorites-, I noticed that it happens very often that when a pool finds a block, a second block is found by the same pool within a short time.

How can this be explained? I don't believe it is fully explainable by 'luck' because it happens quite often, by all pools.

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Belief has nothing to do with it, it's all part of statistical variance or 'luck'.  Nothing to see here, move along, and mine on!  Cool
