A monkey randomly pressing keys on a typewriter for an infinite amount of time would eventually type out the complete works of Shakespeare purely by chance.
This widely known thought-experiment is used to help us understand the principles of probability and randomness, and how chance can lead to unexpected outcomes.
The idea has been referenced in pop culture from The Simpsons to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy .
