Comment on Cool Bug Fact #47
insanemantis@lemmy.world 6 days agoHow can you have infinite time to do something and never, ever do it?
There’s no such thing as a perfectly zero percent chance of anything. Roll enough times, roll 52! times or Googolplex times and you’ll see the most crazy shit happen

Because infinite possibilities does not include impossible possibilities.
Imagine an infinitely long track. We will pretend, for the moment, that this represents whatever makes you “you” and that the track doesnt end like literally everything in creation.
You were placed on it by a unique set of circumstances including time, place, and genetics, but you will never be able to leave the track. That would, metaphorically, represent a life event like you flapping your arms hard enough to fly. It simply will not happen, no matter how long you travel down the track, because you are bound by the limits of the track (physical reality)

Infinite possibilities, not infinite impossibilities.
