Some food for thought to get your /sci-juice revving for 2017 you fucking nerds

see
The monkeys are not the Library of Babel.

It only talks about a possibility, 1 in 100 billion is still a possibility, no matter how scarce.

The OP failed to mention this vital part.

>just a possibility
Then why the fuck is this pointless shitpost of a statement on a science board? Anything is a possibility, even if it's 1 in 100 billion

see
for why there is 0 possibility of it happening. This isn't a math thing, due to the monkeys being added. If you used machines that typed out random characters then there would be a chance it could happen, but a very low one. If they typed out every sequence within x amount of space then eventually they'd type out all possible combinations and one of those combinations would be the entire works of Shakespeare. However, monkeys would be lucky to form a single long sentence of any kind.

As I said, infinite monkeys are guaranteed to type anything. One million monkeys, or any finite amount, will probably not type shit all.

Sorry user, I cringed at the typo so deleted the post.

>Anything is a possibility, even if it's 1 in 100 billion
Perhaps that's the beauty of it all.

no
see they are doomed to loop.

its ridiculously vague and has no credibility. what do you find beautiful about it ?

The maths have already been done. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_monkey_theorem You would need more monkeys than their are in the known universe and more time than it has currently exixtecd just to HAVE A CHANCE of typeing out Hamlet on the first try.

You can't mix math and biology like that though. The biology of monkeys do not allow for the math to happen the way it needs to for this to actually have any chance at all, period.

It is an incorrectly formed "theorem" from the start.
