A new study reveals it would take far longer than the lifespan of our universe for a typing monkey to randomly produce Shakespeare. So, while the Infinite Monkey Theorem is true, it is also somewhat misleading.

The question that everyone has been dying to know has been answered. Finally! What will scientists study next?

    It also makes a pretty bold claim about us actually knowing the lifespan of the universe.

      How are they defining the end of the universe?

        Heat death would be my assumption, so between about 10^100 and 10^106 years

        We know such an infinitesimally small amount about what is actually happening in the universe that any claims to be capable of predicting it’s end are patently absurd.
