Reply to comment by draypresct in Infinite Monkey Theorem. If the universe is infinite. Eventually, every fiber, gas, and atom that makes you, you. Will recombin. by PillowHand187

That’s not entirely true. Given enough repeating, eventually, it’ll repeat the sequence. It’ll take an infinite amount of time, and due to the nature of infinity, time may end before that happens considering time isn’t infinite or the sequence may not have the potential to continue infinitely, then it may never repeat.

For example, if you accept the theory that the universe will all be husks of iron at one point, that will end your possibility, that sequence, of it repeating.

Life ceasing to exist and having 0% chance to come back will result in 0% chance for anything regarding life to happen regardless of time or space.

No. The sequence is non-repeating. Every set of “111…” has one more “1” than the preceding one. You will never see “0110” again in this sequence after position 5.

Similarly, there is no guarantee that the universe (infinite or not) is repeating.

By that logic, nothing is repeating? You’ll never see anything the same way ever again.

The sequence 0.0101010101010… is repeating. I’m just saying that infinite does not necessarily mean “repeating”.

But you said that you’ll never have the sequence the same.

Which would imply 010101 and 0101010 is not repeating. It’s a brand new sequence. The same way as 11111001000011100010010101 in your original comment is suggested to not be repeating.

If 01010101 is repeating then the original sequence, given any 1-2 numbers when there are only two numbers present, will be a repeating value. I see multiple 01’s in the original sequence and multiple 0010 and so on. To say that there’s an additional digit and this it’s not repeating would also be the same for 0101010101.

They’re…two…separate…sequences. Look at them.
