How many......

  1. How many Android apps are out there
  2. How many websites are on the www
  3. How many species live in the world’s oceans
  4. How many species of insects are there on Earth
  5. How many sperms have you wasted wanking?

Can you quantify sperms:D

One ejaculation contains millions of them yet all sperms ever produced by all creatures on Earth since the beginning of life are still fewer than the number of stars in the universe.

Alright buddy,great discovery.

When asking the question “How many stars are there in the universe?” it’s important to distinguish between the universe as a whole and the observable universe. Because the universe was born 13.8 billion years ago, we can only observe objects up to a certain distance from Earth — light from more distant objects hasn’t had time to reach us yet. And to answer “how many stars are there,” we must limit the discussion to what we can observe.

Astronomers had estimated that the observable universe has more than 100 billion galaxies. Our own Milky Way is home to around 300 billion stars, but it’s not representative of galaxies in general. The Milky Way is a titan compared to abundant but faint dwarf galaxies, and it in turn is dwarfed by rare giant elliptical galaxies, which can be 20 times more massive. By measuring the number and luminosity of observable galaxies, astronomers put current estimates of the total stellar population at roughly 70 billion trillion.

However, those estimates are dependent on the sensitivity of current telescopes. More recent estimates have upped the number of galaxies in the observable universe to 2 trillion, though many of these are tiny, fluffy galaxies with fewer stars. If the typical galaxy had 100 billion stars, then there would be 2 x 10 to the power of 23 stars in the observable universe, three times as much as earlier estimates. But even this is still probably an underestimate, as more sensitive telescopes will continue to reveal fainter galaxies and stars.

If we can only percieve 5% of matter (ordinary matter), and the rest is undetectable to us though we know it exists, from its gravitational infuence, (“dark energy”, my ass), can we say we know how many stars really exist?

There are more animal and plant species in the ocean than on land.

So what?
