The Mathematics of the Infinite & OOTP

In a universe of infinite size and infinite limitations we could conclude that there is only one possibility...that life on Earth is the only life in the universe. But how likely is that? Let's see...There is a (1/infinity) chance that there are no other possibilities.

That's a pretty small number. Too small for a dummy like me to comprehend.

On the other hand, there is ((infinity-1)/Infinity) chance that any other single possibility is actual.

Just remember this the next time you fire up OOTP. There is a fairly high degree of possibility that the league that you simulate is actually happening exactly as you play out your league.

You are not watching a spreadsheet unfold after all. You are watching a real league in a real universe unfold right before your very eyes.

It is more likely real than less likely real.

Happy gaming.
