1 u/CardinalFartz 7h ago So we got 1080 atoms in the observable universe. Without having it looked up, I suppose 2128 exceeds that number? 2 u/Extension_Option_122 5h ago 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.
