How does a player like Carlsen ever lose a game?

Your English is fine, also this sort of thing happens, Carlsen blundering is a one in a 100,000 (or some other ridiculous stat) chance, but it happens. Maybe it was due to lack of focus or simply missing the move (which happens even at top level as incredibly amazing as it sounds). Top level players even Carlsen, have to make inaccuracies and blunders sometimes.
im wondering, how
does carlsen miscalculate like that? he can visualize 60 boards at once in his mind, and play through thousands of games from memory. Surely it shouldnt be a big problem for him to calculate 5-6 variations and see that he loses a pawn in one of them. Im not saying So is weak, but Carlsens brainpower is just completely out of this world, how does he ever miscalculate in classical chess with lots of time on the clock? The only explanations possible could be lack of focus, or laziness to calculate detailed variations. Once again, remember - this guy can play at an incredible level blindfolded and has no trouble at all visualizing complex positions and going through variations in his mind.
I, for example, find it very hard to see the resulting positions in my head, so i miscalculate and misevaluate very often. But I know for sure guys like Carlsen have incredible photographic vision skills, they can move the pieces back and forth in their mind and see it all as clear as we do when we move the pieces on the board.
Maybe some high rated player could elaborate on that? If you’re able to see the board and all the variations with 100% accuracy, how do you ever make mistakes? Surely if Carlsen had an analysis board on the side and could go through possible moves physically, he would never lose to another human; and from what we all saw during blindfold simuls we can be assured he can analyze easily in his mind, not needing a real board.
P.s. sorry for my english
