The actual answer to the coin flip debate is somewhat nuanced. While the probability of never getting a million heads in a row is 0, that does not mean it is truly impossible<ref>https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1386695/infinite-heads-from-infinite-coin-tosses</ref>. Getting a million heads in a row, or even a single head, are both considered "almost-certain" events, which means they can be treated as guaranteed outcomes by mathematicians.
