Whats the biggest number...?

[Lamp]

What are there more of....?

 

[old.Tohtori]

More interesting; what's half of infinity?

Can't be infinity because then infinity would be infinity x2

 

[Lamp]

wait for the poll...("infinity x 2" is meaningless BTW)

 

[old.Tohtori]

Not the question

I'm going with stars, it's a ridicilous amount really.

Oh damn...didn't think that through...do we count planets and such as stars, or only the stars?

 

[aika]

ah clicked before i read the last one, should be bigger than all of them combined (If you include the anti-matter as well).

 

[Thadius]

clearly atoms, as that are what everything else is made of

 

[Ormorof]

clearly atoms, as that are what everything else is made of

but atoms are made of sub-atomic particles

 

[aika]

clearly atoms, as that are what everything else is made of

thing is during the big bang, there was today's amount of atoms + atoms that were annihilated by anti-particles and + aforementioned anti-particles.
The atoms that we have now are only the remnant of the atoms that were originally. Now if you ask me why the matter and anti-matter separation was uneven - I have no idea

 

[old.Tohtori]

How did i miss that number of atoms option?

 

[Killder]

We're all computer geeks so the biggest number is obviously 1

 

[mooSe_]

lol toht voted for there being more stars than atoms

 

[Olgaline]

ah!
but for you see!
it was metaphorical, he ment, that everything in the univers has it's own little bright shining star inside,

 

[Thadius]

God created the universe anyway!

Anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot!!!1

 

[fettoken]

He would be right, if the world we live in is some kind of computer generated Matrix.

 

[crispy]

Make it a little more tricky, like, how many photons have existed to date?

 

[Lamp]

who thinks leaves > sand ?

- number of sub-atomic particles emitted by the big bang

Not sure if the big bang emitted sub atomic particles or if it whas energy, or anything else. So clearly it's the number of atoms in the known universe, unless someone can prove the big bang emitted all the sub atomic particles of which the atoms in the todays universe are made.

 

[Ingafgrinn Macabre]

At the time of the big bang, there were no atoms to speak of. The first period was a plasma-kind of substance, due to the pressure and temperature at that point in time and space.
Only after the big bang atoms started to form in the form of hydrogen.
It's possible that anti-matter and regular matter annihilated each other at the time of the big bang, but it wouldn't really make the answer here any different if no anti-matter was created at all, because all the matter in the universe here as we know it was created in the big bang in the form of subatomic particles, and not all those particles have been converted to atoms, since some have remained to be energy or gamma radiation, thus the last answer is the only correct one.

 

[Ezteq]

I clicked the last one but lolo ferreri's bra size was right up there tbh

 

[old.Tohtori]

I did, missed the atoms option while reading it.

Much like you missed the podt about it

though every atom is a potential star, so in that sense

 

[fl3a]

though every atom is a potential star, so in that sense

only if they go on the next pop idol show though

So the big bang produced sub-atomic particles? To put the question in another way; Does a Hydrogen(-1) atom consists of sub atomic particles?

yes, since its single proton is made up by 3 quarks, 2 up and 1 down
