Entropy gave us that everything can happen, just that the chances of it happening is very slim. If time is infinite, wouldn't everything that can happen will happen?
Do physicist believe that time in the future exist? I don't want to say "have already existed" or have "occurred". But it's in the same context. Do future exist even before we have experienced it?Simon Bridge said:No, you are not accounting for conditional probability: some things happening may rule out other events from happening.
ifaik the current thinking on time is that it is finite in the past.
What happens in the future is up for grabs.
Why don't you just wait and see?howabout1337 said:If time is infinite, wouldn't everything that can happen will happen?
Assuming that the mass and volume of the universe remained finite, then all possible states that could happen would happen. Once that situation occurred, there would be no other possibility than for the state of the universe to precisely match a state that had occurred in the past - causing the past to pick up from that point.howabout1337 said:If time is infinite, wouldn't everything that can happen will happen?
There is no future without time - that is what "the future" is ... more time.howabout1337 said:Do physicist believe that time in the future exist?

Entropy is a measure of the disorder or randomness in a system. In the context of infinite time, entropy can be thought of as the gradual increase in disorder over an infinite amount of time. This is due to the fact that with infinite time, all possible configurations and arrangements of matter and energy will eventually occur, leading to a maximum level of entropy.
This is a philosophical question that has been debated for centuries. In terms of scientific understanding, time is generally considered to be infinite and continuous, with no beginning or end. However, some theories, such as the Big Bang Theory, suggest a finite beginning to the universe's existence.
Infinite time allows for an infinite number of possibilities and outcomes to occur. Probability is a measure of the likelihood of a particular outcome or event occurring. With infinite time, even highly improbable events have a chance of occurring, leading to an infinite number of possibilities.
Yes, the concept of infinite time is closely related to the second law of thermodynamics, which states that the total entropy of a closed system will always increase over time. This is because with infinite time, all possible states of a system will eventually be reached, leading to maximum entropy.
While there is no definitive evidence for or against the concept of infinite time, many scientific theories and models, such as the concept of eternal inflation, suggest that time could indeed be infinite. Additionally, the fact that the universe is constantly expanding and evolving supports the idea of infinite time.
