Is it ever physically possible for a broken egg to reassemble into an unbroken one?

Is it ever physically possible for a broken egg to reassemble into an unbroken one?
The conventional answer is that it would never happen. But couldn't it be the case that, while it would be extremely unlikely for a broken egg to be spontaneously reassembled into an unbroken egg, there's still nevertheless this very tiny tinge of possibility that this can happen (maybe a 1 out of a googolplex probability)?

The overall entropy may be increasing, but I don't see why the atoms that constitute a broken egg couldn't, by sheer coincidence, collect together in a way that the arrangement now constitutes an unbroken egg?

Let's see what our local physicists here have to say.
