For simplification sake, assume that the chances of life spontaneously and randomly occurring from non-life is 1 in 1 million.
Now extend the time period out for that event to occur to 1, 3, 4, or even 6 billion years. Does the probability change because the time allowed for it happen has increased? Meaning, will the 1 in one million chance have better odds over time?
Please give an equation and state the value for time and how it effects the probability. Thank you.
