What's even more fun to think about but even less probable is that a HD video could be treated the same way, if you make them all 100 years long, somewhere in there would be a complete video of your life. and einsteins life and tesla and every possible way their life, or anyone elses life, could have or might or will come out.

Well techinally, since there would be 800*600 pictures of every second of your life, in any place or any situation imaginable you could put those images together to make an HD video of yourself doing anything with anyone at any time at any age....

There is only a finite number of songs, not because of cds, but because the english language has only 600,000 words. There is also a finite number of sounds a human can hear or say.
Just to poke fun....
For you to calculate all that in a really short time, lets say the time it take to download a song, I think it would exceed the speed of light, and so be impossible.
How do you know that the lotto numbers would be real?

Yea, this makes no sense to me. I know what you are saying, but im sure that it would take more time to make some algorithm to filter out the nonsense and false stuff than it would take to develop the information in the first place. Also, i cannot even begin to imagine how an algorithm that would know what picture/text is true and what is false even before it happens is possible. I think there is a better chance of being struck by lightning and eating some bad P.F. changs in the same day causing you to become psychic than being able to produce such an algorithm.

You'd get every person who lives, has lived, and will live doing any action in every moment of their life. You'd get a lot more pictures of non-existent people doing random things. Also with text, you'd get all combinations meaning most of it will be nonsense, and if it did make sense, most of it would still be false.
You'd pretty much accomplish nothing since everything possible and impossible would be there...

yep. that's why you don't F with infinity. it gets interesting, then confusing, and finally, pointless. but in the long run, anything that isn't infinite is pretty much pointless too, when you think about it O_O
