I think, they mean across generations. Theoretically, infinite generations could follow, with therefore infinite new humans.
Either way, it doesn't actually need to be infinite, but rather just approaching infinity, to give high enough of a chance for a monkey to produce hamlet. Even just the 8 billion humans alive are already a pretty massive number of monkeys.
But universe is is finite with finite ending. Humans will die out way before the heat death of the universe
I don't think there's scientific consensus about that, is there?
Finiteness of the universe is not certain, but inevitability of entropy is pretty sure.
Yes, please refer to my second paragraph.
