like so it's just a vast amount of 1s and 0s?

if i could, could i then randomly type a billion 1s and 0s and make a completely original movie that looks like live action and shit

Yes, if you want to know how, look up video file encoding schemes.

Yes to your second question too, but it's unfathomably unlikely.

wait

wait

so if someone strung together the right sequence of zeroes and ones, they could theoretically create a movie with like, dead actors, perfect dialogue and motion, and look like real life?

Sure, it would never actually happen though

Why not

Because the overwhelming majority of combinations of 1s and 0s when interpreted as a video file format give you absolutely nothing.

The odds are such that you require an infinite amount of attempts in order to succeed.

A 600 MB movie would take at least 5 billion "correct" 1's and 0's.

If everyone in the world flipped a coin, what do you think of the odds that everyone's turns up heads?

That and by the time you actually succeed the heat death of the universe would of already happened fallowed by a computer saying "let there be light".

Too bad hokey deus ex machina doesn't happen in real life and on a universal scale.

Yeah but then all of them don't have to be correct. Some bits are more important than others

Doesn't change anything significantly but interesting to note

Not all of them have to be exactly right, but the vast majority do.

Yeah, but I'm not going to try to quantify what percent of them need to be right.
