I asked a math wiz friend how many different ways the various quanta of matter and energy in the universe could be configured and he shrugged and said "something like 10^90 factorial." I mean, that assumes each particle could interact with each other particle only 1 way. But let's assume it's 1,000,000,000 different ways and round the figure to 10^100 factorial. That's called a googolbang and has 995,657,055,180,967,481,723,488,710,810,833,949,177,056,029,941,963,334,338,855,462,168,341,353,507,911,292,252,707,750,506,615,682,568 digits. (That's not the number, just the number of digits in the number.)

I believe this is a fair representation of all possible configurations of all the entropy in the entire observable universe. Every expression of every possibility. It's large, but much closer to zero than to even some of the smaller large numbers, which require their own language and notation to be coherently expressed. Some of them are too large to be contained within all the entropy of the observable universe. And that's just the number of DIGITS in the number.

Conclusion: the observable universe is tiny. Fuggin. Tiny.
