How Many Atoms are in the Universe?

Fascinating…

How much stuff is in the Universe? : Starts With A Bang: “All told, there are around a whopping 1080 atoms filling our observable Universe. This is a ridiculously huge number. If you and I were to each choose an atom in the Universe at random, the probability that we’d each choose the same atom is 1 in 1080, or about as likely as winning the powerball jackpot ten times. In a row.”

That’s a lot of atoms.

We’ll talk about most of them in the coming weeks :)
