It is relevant. What cause a chance of certainty with the monkeys is a FINITE number of letters in a set order typed by randomisation. (cont)

Let's scratch "infinity" and replace it with "enough time".

I think you recognise the fact that a monkey bashing a keyboard or typewriter is able to input the word "There" by complete accident. For every letter and every word ("once", "was", "a") the odds of hitting that predetermined order decreases. But the possibility never changes. Positive. Possible. A negative outcome is in fact impossible unless restricted with a limit. This limit being time or number of tries.

There seems to be a saturation point in which although infinity would seem to cover all possible outcomes, there's a saturation point of impossibility which apparently prevails in any amount of time possible.

Karl's right with number 4.... there's been an experiment done with a computer to randomly assign a letter after letter, and it work on the basis of trillions of "monkeys" writing random letters... and so far it's ran over the basis of a trillion monkeys typing over a trillion years every so often (few hours, days etc) and so far the nearest anybody one set has come has been a few lines of 1 play.

It does in fact seem logical infinity would win, but it isn't true.

I wonder if Karl and Gareth Keenan are related. They say a lot of the same kinds of things.

Can you imagine what a goldmine Karl would have been for Ricky and Steve if they had known him when they were writing 'The Office'?

[Bluttgesicht]

But that's a very lazy argument, to simply say 'But it's infinity, which means it will happen'. We don't know this, and it is something we cannot test.

And in the article, what they said was practically 0, was simply typing HAMLET with NO PUNCTUATION or SPACING. The chances of them typing the complete works of Shakespeare, in order with all the correct punctuation and spacing, are so incredibly low it is not conceivable to the human mind.

Sometimes I actualy feel sorry for Karl, and a bit angry with Ricky for being so mean to him, but he doesn't realy seem to mind, or does he? How much must they pay him (imagine the negotiations).

[ACombustibleLemon]

What they said in the article was that in a PHYSICALLY MEANINGFUL amount of time the probability would practically be 0. Infinity is completely different.
