TITLE: Existence of iid random variables
QUESTION [17 upvotes]: In probability theory we often used the existence of a sequence $(X_n)_n$ of independent and identically distributed random variables. This was already discussed here. One of the answers says:

As Ahriman has pointed out, if you are given a random variable $X:\Omega\to E$ it may not be possible to construct the whole sequence on $\Omega$ as the latter may be quite a poor space, so you would have to go for a richer space.

My question is the following: How could I "enrich" my given probability space $\Omega$ such that I can ensure the existence of iid random variables on this probability space?
My idea was the following: Assume that I have a given probability space $(\Omega_1,\mathcal{A}_1,\mathbb{P}_1)$ and a random variable $X:\Omega_1 \to E$. Now I can construct a probability space $(\Omega_2,\mathcal{A}_2,\mathbb{P}_2)$ such that there exists a sequence of iid random variables $X_n: \Omega_2 \to E$. Let $(\Omega,\mathcal{A},\mathbb{P}) := (\Omega_1,\mathcal{A}_1,\mathbb{P}_1) \otimes (\Omega_2,\mathcal{A}_2,\mathbb{P}_2)$ the product space, then
$$X_n'(w_1,w_2) := X_n(w_2) \qquad \qquad X'(w_1,w_2) := X(w_1)$$
would still fulfill $X' \sim X$, $X_n' \sim X_n$ and the random variables $X_n'$ would be independent. Is this correct...?

REPLY [3 votes]: Saz your approach is correct. In fact, it is known as the Kolmogorov's existence theorem. One book where you can find the proof is on page 482 of Probability and measure of Patrick Billingsley. On this book, you can see how to construct independent processes and random variables via finite dimensional distributions. These independent processes and random variables will be projections of the original ones, and they will indeed have the same distribution.
