But if the universe is cyclical, as Nietzsche and others insisted, then there will be an infinite number of monkeys, because there will be an infinite number of cycles of the universe in which monkeys evolve. And surely at least some number (x) of those monkeys will have access to typewriters or similar machines. And since ()()/x = ()(), then over the course of infinite cycles of the universe there will be an infinite number of monkeys with access to typewriters. Ergo, assuming the cyclical theory of cosmology is correct, we already do have an infinite number of monkeys with typewriters or similar devices, and sooner or later they will produce the works of Shakespeare. Of course, they will need hundreds of trillions or quadrillions of cycles.
The average paperback romance novel takes about three weeks.
