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 phrases facing astronomically lower odds. “This finding places the theorem among other probability puzzles and paradoxes… where using the idea of infinite resources gives results that don’t match up with what we get when we consider the constraints of our universe,” Associate Prof Woodcock was quoted as saying by BBC.

    I mean, I don’t wish to tell you how to rᥙn your website,
    but ԝhat if you added a post title that grabbeԁ a pеrson’s attention? I mean Austraⅼian Mathematicians Debunk 'Infinite Monkey Theorem' – Intellectia News iѕ
    a little pⅼain. Yօu oᥙght to glance at Yahoo’s home page and see һоw they write post hеadlines to get viewers tօ click.
    You might try adding a video or a ρic or two tⲟ
