This also goes into the issue of the nature of infinity time. Like, before all of spacetime happened, time was irrelevant. Equilibrium should have just been forever and ever. Whether it was created or accidental or whatever. It's such a ridiculous, non-intuituve landscape to navigate. We know that spacetime as we know it has had a non-zero chance of occurring, because it is occurring. So rationally it is not unreal to assume that it could be happening infinity times in the past and infinity times in the future and infinity times concurrently. The nature of reality is fucking insane.
