You are correct, but what I was trying to say is that numbers that large just do not fit into the human mind. They don't mean anything to us because we have never seen that many of anything ever before. In fact, the number I gave for the total stars in the observable universe was too big, and I didn't want to do that. To give some help imagining it, check out this link. If stars were pennies, they would make about 70,000 of the cubes on the last page.

Fun little fact: 2^128 has 39 digits... to find the circumference of the observable universe to within the diameter of a single proton only requires 39 digits of pi.


If I knew now what I will know then... maybe things will have been different...
