In an infinite universe, all possible things should be happening at the same time

Misunderstanding of infinity.

E.g.: 1.101100111000... is an infinitely long number, yet it will never be bigger than 1.2 nor smaller than 1.1, it does not contain all digits, nor does it contain all possible combinations of 0s and 1s.
