I (poorly) simulated the infinite monkey theorem in python 

Theres still no explanation as to why the conclusion is that he would write a cohesive novel even if he has infinite time?

Another flaw is that you have all of the characters weighted the same, a monkey wouldn’t be delicately typing one key at a time and consequently any key press would be highly likely to be immediately followed by key presses of adjacent keys

Thank you for this. I'm a python learning student and i came up to this video to find out about the theorem about monkeys, suddenly i find about it with python code which makes me mess around with that code too

very well done,you greatly simulated it actually and explained it thoroughly and it's also similar to library of babel, it's interesting how much information it is all poems, conversations and this comment and all that has been and all that will be written has already exist there in the library waiting to be found.

I cannot express how underrated and awesome this channel is. This is my new favorite channel. Watch out VSauce, rooben is coming for you.

I wonder if it will do better then twitch chat! edit : it did better somehow SKULLEMOJIIIIIIIIII💀💀💀💀💀💀

3:14 HOLY SHIT I SEE IT

Enjoyed this video. Thanks very much. A few comments. 1. It doesn't count as progress unless the Monkey/computer types out the first 8 letters (as opposed to 8 characters from anywhere in the middle) so that's what I'd have been on the lookout for. 2. In the context of this scenario, a computer simulation is only marginally faster than using a real monkey. For example, I did a rough calculation of how many years it would take the monkey to type the works of Shakespeare and got to something like 10 raised to the power of 3 million. Assuming the computer can "type" a billion times faster than a monkey, it would still take 10 to the power of approximately 3 million for your computer to achieve the same task. (i.e., when the exponent is of the order of millions, an acceleration of a billion or so is immaterial). You've prompted me to back and redo the calculation - thanks for that!

Don't be shy, add all of the works of Shakespeare

HOW DID YOUR BRAIN COME UP WITH THIS???

But... not Shakespeare

So... Bogo sort until you hit Romeo and Juliet? Grab some food and drink. You're gonna be here for a while.

isn't this similar to the Library of babel?

I absolutely loved this video!

Romeo and Juliop

Monke write literature

This deserves more views

hehe virtual monke type 'boi' ohh ohh banana

"i got bored after a minute"...."after waiting an hour and a half"... yeah I really don't think you understand

can you send me this py folder? i tried this with my friend but we can't :(

your range is very small considering the amount of combinations that we can get from the list of letters

nice

Brain large

Imagine a monkey ended up typing "sigma ohio skibidi rizz"

wysi

Nice sim

spot the obvious mistake in my code

There's another problem. A monkey typing is not a random input.

Can the infinite monkeys write a hundred-page book containing only the letter 'a', No it's impossible, Why? The same reason if you flipped a coin a 100 times you will have roughly 50 heads and tails. And just like that it's impossible too to write the works of Shakespeare.
