"It would also weigh more than all the other atoms in the observable universe" - to me that's even more amazing than the cube's size! It looks like it's about 1/42 (or whatever... let's call it somewhere between 1/10 and 1/100) of the diameter of the Milky Way, which itself on the scale of the observable is just a little unremarkable spot. Tells you something about the incredible emptiness of the universe. You could concentrate all of its (normal) matter in an object much smaller than a galaxy without even requiring weirdly dense objects like neutron stars!

@richardyork26264 жыл бұрын
It's an interesting thought. Personally I think that's just because the higher you go, the more numbers there are, and hence the likelihood of finding a number with more interesting properties is orders of magnitude higher if you go up to, say, 20 digits rather than restricting yourself to 5 digits. But I'm sure if you picked a 20 digit number at random, it would be highly likely to have no interesting properties whatsoever. It's also no longer the case if you stop restricting yourself to integers, for obvious reasons. Pi and the golden ratio are two of the most interesting numbers and they're both very small.
@alveolate4 жыл бұрын
@@richardyork2626 going in the train of thought of the OP, clearly he's thinking of integers. and since binary representation is included, a transcendental number like pi/phi would clearly be represented computationally with some formula that can be converted into a long binary string -- i.e. another number.
