I'm not stupid arrakis, I can tell where the exponents are meant to go. However, my points still stand as your copied your text straight from the site you linked to (that's how the exponents got left out). Are you going to to admit you messed up the games vs. positions as well as the protons vs. atoms (which isn't such a big deal as they are only 1 order of magnitude different anyway).

As for cleaning up my explanation it was (and is) perfectly clear to me. And my source is quite clear too, G. H. Hardy said the last section, that's why I thanked him.

PS. Don't try and argue math with me, I'm the king of math (until say RC or SPMars or any one of a handful of other posters shows up).

Visible. The non-visible universe is undetectable to us and therefore uncalculatable.

Remember one order of magnitude is a factor of 10 difference. It's not claimed to be a very accurate guess.

EDIT: I should point out that those calculations are in atoms but as I said earlier, there will only be on average a few protons per atom (remember how much of the galaxy is hydrogen?) so we just add an extra magnitude on.

Welcome to the science of astronomy.

You are upset because I told you when you make a statement like that you need to give the url to support it. If you had done that instead of trying to claim it was YOUR material I wouldn't have had to post something to clear up the relationship between chess moves and atoms or protons.

So you see, it's all your fault for being such a dick that all these messages of attack and defense came to be. You may think you are a mathematical genius, but to most of us here who are adults, you are a child.

I have to post a url? So posting information directly from a book isn't good enough anymore?
And I did attribute it.

And you still haven't admitted you were in fact wrong in correcting me.

I have some trig homework if you get bored. 😵

Books are out, Wikipedia is in.

I guess that's about it, but that's not really news.

EDIT:I support books. And the cutting down of millions of trees.
