You cannot amass an infinite number of anything. You cannot reach the end of an infinite series, because that’s what infinite means.

The monkeys would not be typing every combination of every letter, punctuation mark, and number. They would be hitting keys with no particular goal, at random.

Better to write a program to type every possible combination. For a page of text, it would take longer than the expected life of the universe, so get going! But it would be an easy program to write. However, once you start it, don’t hang around waiting for it to end. Will it actually create the works of Shakespeare? We’ll never know, because there is no way to ever reach the end of an infinite series.

I like your explanation. These are the things I usually rely on Michio Kaku to break down for me.

Well, did you know that Chuck Norris has counted to infinity?

Twice.
