So by the thought of infinite parallel universes though, shouldn't there then be at least some in which someone did attend?

    Pi is an infinite series of non-repeating digits, and yet you will never find the letter A in pi because there is a 0% chance of the letter A being a digit in a decimal system. By the same logic, infinite possibilities do not guarantee that every conceivable state occurs, if that conceivable state has a 0% probability. As finite beings, it is very difficult for us to accurately distinguish between a 0% probability and a infinitesimal probability, so we end up circling back to "we don't know"

    One the one hand you are correct.

    On the other hand... Behold! An A in pi! https://www.spoj.com/problems/PIHEX2/

    Shower thought: Pi in base 36 contains every string of characters somewhere.
