@MedeaLysistrata, you bring up a good point which I believe relates to a principle I erred in regard to earlier. You are correct that there is no such thing as a specific probability that would only happen once in infinity.

It boils down to this: Anything with a non-zero probability will occur an infinite amount of times, given an infinite timeline. Something that is impossible will never happen.

The probability that the first coin flip is heads is 50% and only happens once. Also an infinite timeline is non repeating and only happens once. Something that only happens once isn't impossible.

Anyway I see what you're saying, but something that repeats can stop repeating and that's not intuitively impossible in any sense.
