What's the difference between coincidence and synchronicity?

Coincidence


Definition:

  • (n.) The condition of occupying the same place in space; as, the coincidence of circles, surfaces, etc.
  • (n.) The condition or fact of happening at the same time; as, the coincidence of the deaths of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.
  • (n.) Exact correspondence in nature, character, result, circumstances, etc.; concurrence; agreement.

Definition:
