Infinite time to run does NOT imply that every possible local configuration will obtain. If it’s cyclical, it could repeat the same few trillion years, which is a TINY subset of possible-experience-entity-space.
”Most things happen at the wrong time, and many things don’t happen at all. The conscientious historian will correct these defects.”—Heroditus
Infinite time by itself implies nothing. It is simply one of the necessary conditions.
As for repeating the same few trillion years over and over again, that is extremely unlikely because the random quantum fluctuations just a few instants after the Big Bang have a massive effect on mass distribution across the universe and possibly on dark energy.
