It's undefinable. You're just as likely to get all zeros,
or all ones, as you are to get any arrangement of numbers you care to
mention (or can mention); the probability being 0 for each, I suppose. The
difference is, there are some infinite binary strings of numbers you cannot
define without
.
So with probability one you don't get only zeros.
There is a theorem that says that any finite arbitrary configuration will
appear an infinite number of times in an infinite random sequence with
probability one.
