point is that you made an argument that a single instance won't make everything happen.with infinite instances everything will happen.

If it doesn't, you'd be the first with that information and the chance to make it public. Although, yes I am, I wish it didn't but I still think it does.
But it was with an infinite amount of moves, which is the point.

In fact my entire presence on this forum is for self-amusement purposes, to be honest.ginn, listen to Smegma, you don't know what you are talking about.

If you've solved all philosophical questions you have, you're very dull and arrogant. If you're acting arrogant for self-amusing purposes you are an arrogant person.
The point remains though, since your claim was anything that can occur, will occur, given infinite time. This isn't necessarily true.
Moss have you ever read anything from this site?
What do you mean reset? I mean, you start at point A and move from there, whats the probability you reach A after an infinite amount of moves.I'll tell you, its not 1, which is what you said it should be with your statement.

I think myself to be math-saavvy, but I don't quite understand this. At any given point in 3-dimensional space, you have some compound probability P(X) to reach your origin, which is a product of P1, P2, P3 ... PN, where P1 is the probability that you will move from your current position to location 1, then from there to location 2, etc. where location N is your origin. Of course, these trajectories (and therefore, their corresponding probabilities) are dependent on your location, so every time you move, P(X) will change.Actually, never mind. I just realized that I'm confusing probability for empirical likelihood. "1 out of 100" != 1%. I understand now what you mean: although the number of attempts will increase the probability that you will arrive at your desired result, at infinity the probability that you will not still exists (though is infinitesimal).
we do not know if the atoms in another part of the universe is built up in the same way or not. Infinite means that everything that is possible (not restricted to our scientific laws) has or will happen.So ruling out the existence of warewolfs is very arrogant.
