Let $(X_n)$ be independent random variables and letbe their tail sigma-algebra. The Kolmogorov zero-one law states that every $A\in \mathcal{T}$ has probability zero or one.

Indeed, $A$ is independent of $\sigma (X_1,\dots ,X_n)$ for every $n$. The union of these finite-coordinate sigma-algebras generates $\sigma (X_1,X_2,\dots )$, and independence extended from generating pi-systems shows that $A$ is independent of that entire sigma-algebra. Since $A$ itself belongs to it,so $\mathbb{P}(A)\in \{0,1\}$.
