Thousands of them sit in rows, running without rest. Once a person understands that a miner is not a human but a device that never sleeps, the scale becomes easier to grasp. These machines fire through guesses at high speed. Each one is trying to match the one valid answer the network will accept. The winning machine earns the reward. All other miners (computers) try again. The entire operation is a probability race powered by electricity.
