The Universe is Large
 
BUT did anyone know that there were less then a Google electrons in it????

I heard this and was amazed, if anyone knows anything else on this topic I'd really like to know because I don't belive it and I can't find any sources to back it up!


Well theres a topic sooo DISCUSS!!:D

wait. . . a search engine is a mathmatical figure? or is a mathmatical figure a search engine? or is an electron a mathmatical figure? or is an electron a search engine?



I'm so confused




- Hold me

How is this provable in any means? maybe there's theory, but how can you prove this...we don't even kow if the universe has limits, and don't someone go tell me that there are, prove that one too....

it's all theory, someone with too much free time to sit and think....

Holds head, and starts to count stars...

Uh, almost, but not quite. A googol is a very large number, written out as a 1 followed by 100 zeros. An even larger number is a googolplex, which is a 1 followed by a googol zeros. A google is a search engine, the one which indexes the most web pages in the world.

As for the number of electrons in the universe, I never heard of this anywhere, so if someone could get a source on this, I'd enjoy reading it.

its also a search appliance :) and a cool word that everyone needs the use more. "That screen shot made me google in awe!"

Chubtoad, where did you find this out from? It sound very strange. But like one of my favorite sayings goes, "In theroy, everything works."

Ian W. 07-08-2002 22:38

just like communism!!! god, that's been said way to many times on the team... :p

if the universe does in fact only have a googol electrons, i'd be surprised. i would think just earth itself had that number of electrons...

Chubtoad 07-08-2002 23:27

I unno
 
I heard it from a friend who is usually very very reliable on such info
I couldn't believe it when I heard it, I'll ask him for some proof or some references tommorow when I see him

I just don't get it, HOW WOULD THEY KNOW THAT!!! THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE WHAT ABOUT THE STUFF WE DON"T KNOW THAT EXISTS?!??!

I work in theory.

DanLevin247 07-08-2002 23:30

Does sound intersting, how many total are within the elements on the periodic table? I know it's not many, but how many trillions of each type of atom are there out there??

Chemistry is dumb.

:)

Thats my one cent. Too cheap for 2 cents.

I second that, wholeheartedly.

Ian W. 08-08-2002 10:51

heh, the best part is i'm in the one place that hates chem more than ever. where else could i be but a national lab, in the physics building? :p even mention chem, and hordes of angry physicist come and take you away... :D

Chubtoad 08-08-2002 11:45

AHh
 
We work in several schools and we're in the library of one and He looked in the Guiness Book of World Records and it says there are 10^87 electrons in the universe.

If anyone knows how they found this out, plesae pass on the info!



Craazzzzyyyy:confused:

DanLevin247 08-08-2002 12:14

Maybe they used a formula using the concentration of electrons in a certain area, then multiplied that answer by the number of the "certain area" units in the universe.
