Australian Mathematicians Debunk 'Infinite Monkey Theorem'

Australian mathematicians have proven the famous "infinite monkey theorem" impossible within the universe's lifespan. The theorem suggests monkeys typing randomly would eventually produce Shakespeare's complete works. Scientists Stephen Woodcock and Jay Falletta calculated that even 200,000 chimpanzees typing one character per second until the universe's heat death would fail to reproduce Shakespeare's writings. A single chimp has only a 5% chance of typing "bananas" in its lifetime, with more complex... Read more
