Any time you pick up a well shuffled deck, you are almost certainly holding an arrangement of cards that has never before existed and will likely never exist again. - Yannay Khaikinpic.twitter.com/afOpu0y7qA

Suppose a new permutation of 52 cards was drawn every second starting from The Big Bang (13.8 billion years ago) You wouldn't even be close • To count out all 52! permutations you would need 10⁵¹ ages of the universepic.twitter.com/7jhybDU59I
Does this take into account a reasonable number of the population participating in this, or is this expanse of time for an individual. Not that it would make a huge difference, but imagine if everyone on earth was working on this at the same time.
good question! this is assuming a shuffling rate of 1 shuffle/second .. multiply by # of seconds since the big bang and you get how many permutations we would have now .. what this means that in order for us to complete the permutations as of today .. 1/2
means that we would have had to bump our rate up to 10^(51) shuffles per second! a huge number !
if everybody on earth were shuffling once per second that would simply change the rate to 1 billion (10^9) shuffles per second .. which doesn't make a dent in 10^(51) .. and that's assuming they've been doing it since the big bang!
