The universe is 3.46 X 10^28 inches across.

The chance a stranger will have the same DNA as you is 1/(2^6,400,000). Or press 2**2 on the calculator and then press equal 6.4M times.

The universe has maybe 1 x10^80 atoms in it.

If one six-foot coiled strand of DNA was uncoiled from each person and these strands were laid out, one per human who have ever lived, the weight would still be less than one aspirin.

1 x 10^120 is an incredibly big number

Brother, The 'ODDS' are never impossible for true warriors. We don't fight the battles we can win, we fight the ones that matter regardless of the odds.

Well, that sure gives one perspective and a nagging anxiety. Why are Earth's homo sapiens sapiens thumbing their collective corporate-addled, greedy noses at our universe's gift of life?

Yes, I do live that, mostly. Yet to be aware is to worry and grieve. Can't separate, must integrate, and resist and create, in spite of the hard, dispiriting fact that the extractive mentality is destroying Earth.

You throw goop against a wall 1x10^120 times, it may stick a couple times.
