Is it just me or do all high probabilities dwindle to nothing as time approaches infinity and all small probabilities increase to 1 as time approaches infinity?

2. and don't say 'when time reaches infinity'
Infinity is a concept that represents something that has no limits or boundaries. It is often used in mathematics and philosophy to describe something that is endless or never-ending.
No, infinity cannot be measured or calculated because it is a concept, not a numerical value. It is often represented by the symbol ∞.
Infinity and probabilities are closely related because probabilities are used to describe the likelihood or chance of an event occurring, and infinity represents the possibility of an endless number of outcomes.
Yes, there are different types of infinity. In mathematics, there is countable infinity and uncountable infinity. Countable infinity refers to a set of numbers that can be counted, while uncountable infinity refers to a set of numbers that cannot be counted, such as all the real numbers between 0 and 1.
Infinity is used in the real world in various fields, such as physics, astronomy, and computer science. It is used to describe concepts like space, time, and infinite series. In computing, infinity is used to represent values that are too large or small to be stored in a computer's memory.
