Events happen at the same time. At any one given point in time, there are trillions (probably much more than that) of events happening. In fact, wouldn't the set of all events be uncountably infinite?
Now that I think about it, we're talking about all possible events, which is even bigger. For any given event, there is theoretically an infinite amount of alternative possible events. Therefore, for each of the trillions of events at any given point in time, there is an infinite set of other possible events.
- hugh3 16y agoCertainly there's an uncountably infinite number of possible events. The question is whether that's an uncountable infinity with larger cardinality than the uncountable infinity of instants in which they could be happening. As far as I'm concerned having read the thread up to this point the question is still open... though my personal prejudice is still that it's not true that every event must happen.
