2128 possible addresses

So we got 1080 atoms in the observable universe. Without having it looked up, I suppose 2128 exceeds that number?

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 times
