Overview

• Researchers from the University of Technology Sydney tested the infinite monkey theorem regarding Shakespeare's complete works.
• The study used the heat death theory to measure the universe's lifespan, concluding monkeys typing randomly cannot achieve this task.
• Calculations show a single chimpanzee has only a 5% chance of typing 'bananas' in its 30-year lifespan.
• The probability of a chimp typing a full sentence like 'I chimp, therefore I am' is one in 10 million billion billion.
• The study highlights the impracticality of using monkeys for writing, emphasizing the limits of probability within a finite universe.
