'So the number of stars in the universe "is equal to all the cells in
the humans on Earth, a kind of funny coincidence," Conroy said'
Another coincidence is that 1 mole = 6.02 * 10^23. So the number of
stars = # of molecules in 1 gram of H2 gas.
\_ More importantly... what does this mean for advocates of dark
matter/energy? Do they even matter any more?
\_ The supposition is that this larger number of stars will
account for at least some of the dark matter. |
