You have heard the old monkey theory: If an infinite number of monkeys had an infinite amount of time they would eventually type Shakespeare's works on a keyboard.
Well here's a debunk you didn't need. Mathematicians Stephen Woodcock and Jay Falletta tested the theorem and found it wanting. The Australian mathematicians calculated that if every chimpanzee alive today could type one key per second for the entire lifespan of the universe Shakespeare's 885,000 words would never be reproduced. In fact, they theorized that a single chimp had just a 5 percent chance of randomly typing the word banana within its 30-year lifetime. The odds of a chimp typing a short phrase are 1 in 10 million billion billion.
Other mathematicians questioned the need for such a study. After all, billions of humans on the internet haven't done it ether.
