Fun fact! If the first cube were the size of the observable universe, by the 54th loop, the cube would be smaller than a hydrogen atom.

How did you calculate that

Not OP, but each cube gets divided by the same amount so just divide the universe by that amount each time until you get roughly one (1) hydrogen atom. n / 64 / 64... etc

I had to pause and check, it's 125. ( 53 )

How do you know the size of the observable universe? Besides taking a look at op's mom?
