Some quick googling finds someone else's analysis 2014 of US death records for the previous 70 years, where approaching 90 million people have over 30 million unique names listed. The same analyst also looked at an October 2010 list of 170 million Facebook names, which had 100 million different names. As of May 2022, there were roughly 1.1 million asteroids either numbered or awaiting numbering. So in terms of asteroids that have been discovered and are in the pipeline to be named, there are many more names available than asteroids in the queue. On the other hand, since anything smaller than Ceres down to rocks about a meter in diameter which orbits within the inner solar system qualifies as an asteroid (and some definitions include some objects in the outer solar system, like the trojans), it seems likely that there are more asteroids than recognised names. On the gripping hand, even just allowing two English words from a basic vocabulary of 20,000 (estimates put a typical vocabulary somewhere in the 15k-50k range) that would be 400 million possible names; taking the "correct horse battery staple" approach using four common words from a 2,000 word vocabulary gives 16 trillion possible names (enough to name every star in thirty galaxies the size of the Milky Way with some left over); 160 quadrillion if you start from a 20k vocabulary. With five words from a 30k vocabulary, you could name every individual grain of sand on Earth. If we really wanted to name every single asteroid, we'd run out of space rocks before running out of character strings...

I'd like to request a video topic. I have a pet peeve in regards to people referring to a product as having however many times less than another. Example: saying "a 4$ hamburger costs 2x less than an 8$ hamburger." Or saying "with THIS dish soap, you can wash a whole load of dishes using 2x less soap." Or even (although its slightly more pedantic) "its twice as cold in this room than that one." A 4$ hamburger IS NOT 2x cheaper than an 8$ hamburger. Its 0.5x cheaper. This soap doesn't use 2x less, it uses 0.5x less. And its not twice as cold, because cold can't be quantified- only heat can. So its not twice as cold in here, it twice as warm in there, or half as warm in here- which would be 0.5x less warm, not 2x less warm. Does this irritate anyone else, or am I the jerk for expecting people to form proper "word problems" in their day to day speach??? Two times less of ANYTHING puts you in the negative.

I was thinking more minor planets have been discovered since 2000 than were discovered in the 200 years of discovering asteroids before that. Looking at those numbers (the number gives roughly the order in which it is discovered, 1 is the first asteroid discovered 314159 is the 314159th discovered etc. ) there were clearly like 10 times more asteroids discovered between 2000-2005 then all those discovered by 2000. I imagine since 2005 we've probably overshot those numbers though maybe not by as much (I mean maybe we've now discovered 10 000 more in the time (so like 3 billion) who knows, but I feel like the exponential growth in discovery slowed).
