> literally millions of orders of magnitude greater

One order of magnitude is literally 10x (10¹) Two orders of magnitudes is 100x (10²) A million orders of magnitude would be 10¹⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰. Millions of orders of magnitude would be larger still.

There are estimated between 10⁷⁸ to 10⁸² atoms in the universe.

Perhaps you meant to say “literally six to nine” rather than “literally millions”?




Indeed. The point remains: OP has been fooled into fretting about relatively nothing so that the real issues aren’t noticed.
