Infinity by its very nature in a sense guarantees all possibilities. Perhaps even a dumb person with infinite time would recreate all technology and beyond.
It reminds me of this disturbing video.

That was incredible. Such a terrifying concept.
"infinity ... guarantees all possibilities" no, no it does not and that is such a common misunderstanding of infinities its kind of annoying.
I.e. The list of all even numbers is infinite and still doesnt include a single odd number. Real numbers are densely infinite and still dont include the imaginary unit or chocolate cake.
If you had infinite time, you still would probably not be able to learn to fly with just your body and still would die if you stopped breathing.
Within boundary conditions of the system.
Wtf is that video...
