When you're nervous about using randomly-generated nsecs to sign events during automated tests because you think, "But, what if someone selects that key-pair, later, and sees the test event?" and you realize that you're a math whiz, but your brain still can't comprehend really large numbers.
I mean, it can.
But not _really_.

yeah, you are more likely to get struck by lightning at the same time as hit by a meteorite
btw, that number she has on the blackboard can be represented by something like 66 bits.
18 446 744 073 709 551 615 is the largest number representable by an unsigned 64 bit integer
256 bits:
115 792 089 237 316 195 423 570 985 008 687 907 853 269 984 665 640 564 039 457 584 007 913 129 639 936
that's 78 digits (26*3)

That number is TL;DR. 😂
That doesn't even look like a real number. Looks like your number pad has a stutter.
Your Casio calculator can't handle the truth about 2^256
The estimated number of atoms in the observable universe, approximately 10^80, can be expressed as a power of two.
To convert this to a power of two, we can use the logarithm base 2:
10^80≈2^266.5
So, the number of atoms in the observable universe is roughly 2^266.5. This means there are about 2^266 atoms, with a small fraction more to account for the decimal.
