A monkey keeps mashing keys on a typewriter, and someday it might type out the complete works of Shakespeare.
People often use the analogy of monkeys and typewriters to explain that even if something has very low probability, given an infinitely long timeframe, it is bound to happen.
Many believe that amidst the vast universe, with countless planets, even if the probability of a planet giving birth to life is low, Humans are certainly not the only intelligent life in the universe.
Therefore, when scientists announced this conjecture, many scoffed at it.
The reason scientists announced this conjecture so early was actually to inoculate the people of this world.
A monkey might mash out the complete works of Shakespeare, but after achieving this, how long would it take them to do it again if they continue randomly pressing?
No one can prove the universe is truly infinite, maybe after expanding for countless years, it has its boundaries.
