It has nothing to do with probability, all to do with how the dice is thrown.

Also there's no guarantee that it would land on any number.

Let's say you NEVER flip a coin,
Let's say that coins do not exist,
What is the probability of the coin landing on heads twice in a row if the chance of landing heads is 50%?

What about I am a Lisp programmer and write a macro so powerful that modifies the state of the matter and creates a coin with two heads faces, flips it and calculates the probability of the coin landing on heads and tails for an infinite amount of flips?

We're programmers. The probability of getting any head is 0.
