The number of atoms or irreducible primary elements being finite and the universe eternal, a combination identical with that which at present exists must at some future time be reproduced, and therefore that which now is must be repeated an infinite number of times.
Atomo edo lehen elementu murrizgaitzen kopurua mugatua delarik, Unibertso betiraunkorrean noizbait oraingoa bezalako konbinaketa gertatu beharko da berriro eta, beraz, orain gertatzen dena amaigabeko aldiz errepikatu beharko da.
