True, but try sampling the CMB for long enough and you would find a few lines of Shakespeare in some encoding somewhere.



Honestly, we have the statistical techniques needed to figure out whether a given pattern in the CMB is real or not. I'm no statistician, but folks that are can do this kind of thing for breakfast.


if you choose the encoding such that each letter in the alphabet encodes some Shakespearian paragraph, then you can find many lines of Shakespeare on this very discussion.
