what if two people generate the same private key ? Is that possible

Even  if its possible then what will happen then? Its not like the  can hack each other.
Who would have know we two have same private kay? This is not a problem  wwe woth can have the same password either but I don't think anyone can actually see we have same passsword which is p@ssw0rd.

Is it possible to have the same public and private key pair that got generated by the algorithm ?  How is the algorithm generating public and private keys.. Do you know or can you share a link to study ?

I didn't say its possible and I didn't say that its true two address can have same private key. I just set out an example that its not going to be a problem if  there is the same private key. I just set an example that it wouldn't be a threat to security if there are two address having same private key. Don't ask me a link about a study of this. Its just my logic, you  use yours.
