Cancer Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 The observable Universe has about 10^12 galaxies, each containing a total of approximately 10^12 stars. Use Stirling's approximation for n! to estimate the number of ways those 10^24 stars could be apportioned into 10^12 galaxies of 10^12 stars each. Leaving this estimate as a logarithm is acceptable. Use the properties of logarithms, the approximations ln 10 ≃ 2.3, ln 2 ≃ 0.7, and Cn , r = n ! /(n−r! r!) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 In reference to my post 5 items up, one approach gives e raised to the 5 * 10^25, which is actually a severe underestimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
