Australian mathematicians have debunked the theorem suggesting that if a monkey were given infinite time with a typewriter, it would eventually produce all of Shakespeareβs works.
Scientists calculated that even if all 200,000 chimpanzees on Earth were made immortal and typed continuously, they still wouldnβt complete Shakespeareβs works before the end of the universe. They based their calculations on the prediction that our universe will cease to exist in a googol years (a number with 100 zeros) according to the heat death theory. Moreover, they didnβt take into account how these typing monkeys would survive the Sunβs eventual engulfment of Earth, expected to happen in a few billion years.
The mathematicians noted that a single chimpanzee would only have a 5% chance of typing the word βbananaβ in its lifetime. And the probability of a monkey producing a coherent sentence like βI am a chimpanzee, therefore I existβ is one in 10 million billion billion. Shakespeareβs complete works, in comparison, contain 884,647 words.
So, while the theorem holds true in abstract mathematics, it is misleading, as itβs practically unachievable due to the constraints of our actual universe.

Sorry I have been inactive in this channel lately. I'm not getting enough time to write stuffs and stay online comfortably.
I just got into campus and everything here is new to me, the environment, the people, the conditions and especially the fact that I have to leave my home town.
The long hour lectures are boringggg. Im tired of hearing the teacher blab for 2 3 hours continously. Its just been a month but im feelin like leaving to never come back again. Ughhh.
Anyways, i'll be back soon with cool contents, thanks for staying and not betraying me :)
Ya all are appreciatedβ€οΈ

Five years. Exams, deadlines, the same routine.
Is this all there is?
The world spins, I'm trapped.
Books and lectures, a constant hum.
Is it worth it?
The universe expands, I'm in a cage.
The point? To chase knowledge, a fleeting echo?
Maybe the real lessons are outside.
But what if the cage is all I know?
Is that life?
Or just a prelude to a life yet to be lived?
A life with freedom, with passion, with meaning?
Or will I be lost in the echo of these halls forever?
Is there a way out?
A way to escape this cage and embrace the unknown?
Or am I destined to chase shadows, forever seeking a light that never shines?

I guess that means lesser need for software engineers.
