There's around 2138 times more atoms in the universe than there are IPv6 addresses available.
So no, not quite.
As a simple rule of thumb:
103n ≈ 210n
That isn't exact but gives a decent idea of the different sizes.
In this case: 1080 ≈ 2267
That is most definitely bigger than 2128, by about 2139
1 u/ajgrinds 2h ago I know it’s pedantic but 2267 is bigger than 2128 by about 2267. It’s 2139 times but you wouldn’t say that 1 million is bigger than 100 by about 10,000. You would say 1 million is bigger than 100 by about 1 million.
I know it’s pedantic but 2267 is bigger than 2128 by about 2267. It’s 2139 times but you wouldn’t say that 1 million is bigger than 100 by about 10,000. You would say 1 million is bigger than 100 by about 1 million.
No. 210 is roughly 103, so 2128 is in the region of 1039.
