Re: Important Math Question
Now I'm extremely curious. Why was it so important to find this information as the thread subject mentions? If you have just come across some money in excess of 1 trillion, please don't forget us little people.

It is really not spam though. It is an important question because growth. Currently there are about six billion poeple on our planet. In SEIV say you have a 100 planets roughly the same size, yet you only have 51 billion in population. Over time growth will inflate that number tremendously and say by the end of a good game, 200 systems with an average of 10 planets per system, and 5 billion on each planet, that number could top a trillion easy.
So that made me wonder how high a number could go. How many earth like planets, how many galaxies would it take to reach the hights of these numbers.
What was here before the universe? Nothingness, and if so, what caused the universe, and don't relay on the big bang either. Say that never happened. What else could create a universe with centillion stars or more?

Re: Important Math Question
can't create something out of nothing. logical impossibility.
that's the thing about nothing - by definition, you can't do anything with it - because there's nothing there to do anything with.
I sounded like Fyron! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH H!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
