While watching one of my favorite YouTube channels, Vsauce, the host, Michael was taking about messages we have sent out into space for "Aliens" to potentially find and learn about us humans. When he asked if we have sent enough information into space, he poses the question "Why don't was just send everything?". He then mentions the Library of Babel, an amazing website that uses an algorithm to produce all possible combinations of the 26 characters of the alphabet and the 3 additional characters of space, comma and period (within 3200 characters). Michael does a better job of explain it then I ever could.
If you can understand how crazy this website is, you should really appreciate the sentence I searched for below. Keep in mind that this website was created in 2015 (I believe) and the events of June 22 2016 hadn't happened.
