Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, everybody, it's tidyfoot John. That's called a room floor. Hey, everybody,
staylefoot John, Za man, let's room flow.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Just to come in a room flog.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
What's on the cutting room floor today? Amanda?
Speaker 2 (00:20):
You know I love me science. Brendan, you do like
I do, like putting on my lab coat and hearkening
back to my beyond two thousand days?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Didn't you just wear a lab coat once? Is that true?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
I often had to wear a lab coat, and it's
like I was up for election. You know, they're always
having to wear these days. It's high viers. We didn't
have to wear high vias. We had lab coats. We'd
wear safety goggles, we'd wear hard hats all that.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Weren't you in a place sometime and you're looking at
a fancy shop.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
That's how I knew it was time for me to
leave beyond two thousand. I had a morning off in Paris.
I thought, look at that dress shop across the road.
That looks nice. There was a shop that sold lab
coats and industrial equipment. I thought, maybe it's time I
give this job up. I'm still wearing it though. Let
me tell you about this. This is the story of
two Australian mathematicians who have called into question that old
(01:10):
adage that have given infinite amount of time a monkey
pressing keys on a typewriter could eventually write the complete
works of William Shakespeare. This is known as the infinite
monkey theorem. Have you heard of it before, Brenda, I
have heard of it. Yes, yeah. It's a thought experiment
that's long been used to explain the principles of probability
and randomness. So this new peer reviewed study, led by
(01:33):
Sydney based researchers Stephen Woodcock and Jay Fleta, have found
that the time it would take for a typing monkey
to replicate Shakespeare's plays, sonnets and poems would be longer
than the life span of our universe, which means that,
while mathematically true, the theorem is misleading. So they looked
at the abilities of a single monkey as well. So
(01:55):
they looked at the ability of a monkey also the
series of calculations from the current global population of chimpanzees. Chimpanzees,
do you think they are in the world? Six million,
two hundred thousand? It's not that many, is it?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Two hundred thousand in the whole wide world? Hang on,
is that two hundred thousand.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Millions here two hundred thousand.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Hang on, monkey chimpanzees like.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
In Tarzan, because you don't sane goodall ones.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Yeah, you don't see monkeys and movies anymore. Remember there
was a whole thing about a monkey in the movie.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah, and they'd have a wine shirts on and they
chop around like last Secret Jim and Marta Harry Lancey,
I'm trying to wear a pair of sand just what
I look like in heels.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Just to Lancelot Lynk Secret Chim was Lancy and Hare
in the scene together. But I think they could have
done split scene like where they didn't Bewitched when they had.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Would have taken too long. Look, they would have used
a lot of monkeys.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yeah. Uh, what about Wally.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Warm He was he a chimp? Yeah, well he was
an ape, but he was an apri or a chimp.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
It was I think it was a chimp. I don't
think you can train an ape. Murray Field the voice
to Wally Warpermure. So somewhere along the line, it's not
culturally sense.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
No, it's not meaning on the line it is, it's inappropriate.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
It's animal cruelty, cruelty.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
So anyway, the results indicated that even if every chimp,
Wally Wallpermure and Marta Hari and Lancelot Lincoln the chief,
all of them, it was wasn't there a chief? Or
am I mistaken it? For get smart? Was that troop?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
No?
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I think there was a chief. Anyway, if all the
chimps in the world were enlisted and able to type
at a pace of one key per second until the
end of the universe, they still wouldn't have come close
to typing out all of Shakespeare's works. Wow, there would
be a five percent chance that a single chimp could
successfully type the word bananas in its own lifetime. It
(04:04):
would just randomly type.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
There's a five per It just passed away on the typewriter.
It would eventually come to bananas.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
And the probability of one chimp constructing a random sentence
such as I chimp before I am comes in at
one in ten million billion. Their researchers shot, okay, yeah,
but you know what book They were able to smash
out fifty Shades of fifty by Brendan Jones. I did
it in ten minutes, just one chimp, extraw extraordinary chimp,
(04:33):
and they threw their feces.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I'm going to throw summertine now available just in time
for Christmas. By the way, yeah, not.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Ever another year that remainder has been as massive more cakids.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
That's said the day contact tomorrow for both John's and
