More will follow on this. Gonna have more facts and figures, and some math related to the imagined combinations. Hopefully some pictures. And whatnot. PurpleChez 02:53, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orders of magnitude

Wanting to give some frame of reference for 10¹³⁸, I found references (on Wikipedia and elsewhere) saying that the number of atoms in the Earth is estimated at roughly 10⁵⁰. I then went in search of similar estimates for the solar system, galaxy, universe, etc. I found one reporting that the number of atoms in the universe was estimated at something like 10⁵⁷. Now...if the Earth is but a speck in the Milky Way galaxy, and if the Milky Way is only one of millions and billions in this amazing and expanding universe, I assume that the number of atoms in the universe MUST be more than 10,000,000 times the number in ol' Spaceship Earth. So I'll try to corroborate some figures. PurpleChez 12:26, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Found some more reasonable figures elsewhere. Hail Google. PurpleChez 18:59, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
