Here on wikipedia is claimed that the process $X_t:=\sup_{s \in (0,t)} B_s-B_t$$X_t:=\sup_{s \in [0,t]} B_s-B_t$ is distributed like $\vert B_t \rvert$ where $B_t$ is standard Brownian motion.

On the other hand, it is claimed here in Corollary $6.21$ that $\sup_{s \in (0,t)} B_s$$\sup_{s \in [0,t]} B_s$ is distributed like $\vert B_t \rvert.$

So how is it possible that $\sup_{s \in (0,t)} B_s-B_t$$\sup_{s \in [0,t]} B_s-B_t$ is distributed like $\sup_{s \in (0,t)} B_s.$$\sup_{s \in [0,t]} B_s.$ There seems to be something wrong with probability.

If you have any further questions, please let me know.

Fundamental Contradiction with Brownian motion

Here on wikipedia is claimed that the process $X_t:=\sup_{s \in (0,t)} B_s-B_t$ is distributed like $\vert B_t \rvert$ where $B_t$ is standard Brownian motion.

On the other hand, it is claimed here in Corollary $6.21$ that $\sup_{s \in (0,t)} B_s$ is distributed like $\vert B_t \rvert.$

So how is it possible that $\sup_{s \in (0,t)} B_s-B_t$ is distributed like $\sup_{s \in (0,t)} B_s.$ There seems to be something wrong with probability.
