Library of Babel

The Library of Babel is a concept from a short story by Jorge Luis Borges, imagining a vast, infinite library containing every possible combination of characters, including all meaningful texts and nonsensical strings. Essentially, it contains every book that could ever exist, making it a metaphor for the universe of infinite knowledge and randomness. The idea highlights questions about meaning, entropy, and the limits of understanding, as within this infinite collection, true knowledge and chaos coexist, illustrating the challenge of finding specific information amid endless possibilities.
