Universal Monkey Typewriter
Recurrence is a funny concept to me. By no means am I a physicist, I only understand the basics of the theorem, but I still find it to be incredibly interesting. As a matter of fact, I’m currently writing an immortal character who is a victim of eternal cosmic recurrence, which is what leads me to this.
I know it’s bullshit. From what I can tell, it doesn’t work on a cosmic scale because the Laws of Conservation tend to not hold up sometimes, especially when you introduce quantum mechanics, and too much or not enough energy/matter=can’t go back to original form.
However, I wonder if it would work given an infinite amount of time.
Would the universe just Infinity Monkey Typewriter itself back to where it is right now if you give it enough time?

It’s a set of 60 1-minute lagboxes that chain until the final one, which sets off an electrode, which pops one of 24 activation fuses. The final lagbox in the chain also activates a piston which pushes a button that repeats the lagbox chain, alongside activating another lagbox which pulls the piston back up.
The final activation fuse in the conveyor line activates a set of pink and yellow cathodes.
