Uh, so that's 10^1800, in other words?
Hmm, or google^18. Using the original definition of google, that is;
the number, not the search engine :)
"That?s impossible." Akane exclaimed.
"No, just highly unlikely, " Urashima replied.
I Am Not An Astrophysicist, but I'd say that Akane's assessment is
just a little more accurate, myself. :)
Well, he did say "even universes", so it could be that many.
For all we know, there could be infinite univreses; any finite subset is
just a single drop in the bucket^W^W an infinite ocean.
But the problem becomes addressing. You would need to an 1800-digit
number to identify each door. This could get awkward :)
