Problem with your first assumption:

Counter-Assumption:
A possibility for something to happen is not a guarantee that it will happen no matter how many times the chance is given.
- Example: If I play the lottery enough times, I may have not have won.
Fragmented Thoughts:
The number of times you have already played do not effect your chances of winning in the future. So it is possible never winning even if you play infinite times.
Yes, there may be infinite chances for something to happen because it has an infinite amount of time to happen, but there are also infinite possibilities that must go at the bottom of the equation of probability, therefore making nothing certain.
Say you are correct, that anything that is possible has already existed or will happen. Well, you can also say it is possible for something never existing despite all odds of it existing. You can also imagine that there is the possibility of that very same thing existing. Non-existence and existence cannot co-exist; thus, this theory contradicts itself.

Why do you assume time must be infinite for time travel to exist? The distance from one side of my house to another is finite (even though it’s a huge distance because my house is huge because I am rich) and I can easily travel from one side to the other in it (I get out of breath though when I run it because my house is soooo huge).

Interesting thoughts FC. Maybe you could reiterate with a little more breakdown of your main points into easy to follow, badass postulates? I don’t know if I’m completely following you.
