The life of the seeds ...

I would like to know more about the life, survival, death of seeds sown in direct sowing.
In other words, will a seed sown at an instant T (say in summer) and whose germination can take place only when the average temperatures are around 10 ° germinate or not?
Is it a question of percentage of chance to germinate?
Namely for example that it is 80% more likely to germinate if it is sown at the right time rather than a bad one
Unless the seed doesn't care and wait wisely for its time
In this case can it wait for its hour X time?
Or not?
It's a question that has been on my mind for quite some time
Examples of surprising rebirths: I had reported fuchsias out of nowhere in pots put in the trash and never watered, but there were also the ferns roasted by the gel and which left again and in recent days the milkweed gentian and the platycodon grilled by the sun and which had disappeared from the surface of the ground and which grow back as if by magic.
Obviously these examples are different from the initial question which only concerns the seeds but I tell myself that perhaps the seed can also come out at the right time even if it was placed on the ground at the wrong time ...
I want to say that in the extreme, if it was the case it would destroy all the gardening advice and the sowing calendars.
And that we could throw all of its seeds from all its plants and vegetables at once on the date X in the year and wait until all of this raises each one at his own time programmed by his personal clock.
But maybe the loss would be considerable?
Or not?
In short if you have lights on the subject it is willingly
