I like to think that given infinite time, any average person could do anything that's physically possible. Alas, given the upcoming universe heat death, this is moot.



Total number of people who have ever lived is around 15 billion IIRC, so ~1500 billion years. Most stars live around 10b years, so one person would burn through 150 stars to accomplish everything done by all humanity up to this point.
