The Infinite Monkey Theorem

The Infinite Monkey Theorem suggests that if an infinite number of monkeys randomly press keys on a typewriter for an indefinite amount of time, they would almost surely produce any given text, such as Shakespeare’s works. The idea illustrates probability and randomness: given endless attempts, even highly unlikely events become almost certain. It highlights how infinite possibilities combined with randomness can eventually result in specific, complex outcomes, emphasizing the power of probability over infinite trials rather than implying any intentional effort or skill.
