Actually it's the inverse, all possible events (states) are (infinite) countable but not time nor space which are uncountable (excluding the Planck length)

You're probably right. Even if we take out the time factor, I guess the set of possible relative positionning of particules(or basic elements) in the universe is infinite uncountable. The distance between them can be expressed as a real number so the diagonal argument applies.

I meant ... then it HAS already happened!
Especially if you believe in an infinite universe Then it may already have happened!
