what is the probability of any arbitrary event in infinity? I think it should be certain, or otherwise, we didn’t reach infinity yet (by definition)
In: Mathematics
This is a paradox pretty well-explained in quantum physics… All potentials exist simultaneously, but can only be measured once observed for obvious reasons. Time is linear, and we are time-bound beings. We can only view and measure so many potentials as our technology and the laws of the physical realm within which we exist will allow.
The answer to your question which I perceive to be “what is the probability that some event will occur given infinite time” is, p = 1.
If you really want to dive deep into the fundamentals, in mathematics, what you’re referring to is “[Convergence of Random Variables](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergence_of_random_variables)”.
