Suppose you start writing a string of truly random numeric digits. At any given point, what’s the probability that you’ll repeat the entire sequence of N digits with the next N digits?
For N=1, the probability is 10%. For N=2, 1%.
Suppose that you continue adding digits to the string until…

An infinite number of steps. If you don’t repeat the sequence when it’s short you probably never will because the probability at each step falls off so fast.
Not everything happens in infinite. #rickandmorty
