I'm not buying it. There are an awful lot of grains of sand in all the beaches, and all the deserts in all the world. But, if we're talking about space as an infinite and ever-expanding entity whose vastness could never be imagined nor calculated... then stars win hands down!!
This is just so amazing. I mean just think of how many teeny grains of sand there are. It's my new favorite thing to talk about when the room gats quiet.

As the universe is infinite and the sand on earth is finite, there must have more stars than grains of sand.

in a good wayI'm not buying it. There are an awful lot of grains of sand in all the beaches, and all the deserts in all the world. But, if we're talking about space as an infinite and ever-expanding entity whose vastness could never be imagined nor calculated... then stars win hands down!!
Owwww! Now my head hurts!
P.S. I agree with swissbob.
But for sure there are more grains of sand in the universe than stars on earth.
But of course!! That goes without saying.
i prefer 'there are more atoms in a teaspoon full of water than grains of sand…'. mind bending

wow--i guess that's why they say "no matter how long you live counting the stars, they will outnumber your years"
