Mathematically, yes. Practically? No. Mathematically, it’s possible for a monkey with a typewriter to write the cure for cancer complete with steps for synthesis, the chemistry, formulas, etc etc. But even in the face of infinite, it’s not going to happen - even if the math works out.

With infinite cycles, practicality doesn't matter. Everything will happen simply because there's no limit on everything reforming. Doesn't matter if the iterations are some unimaginable number apart because nothing is limiting that number.

It’s very unlikely that the cure for cancer could be described using only a type writer. I’m no ontologist but I’m guessing there is going to need to be some pictures.
