In the TOTALITY (or Urgrund) there are —

• Aleph-null universes.

In the observable (local) universe there are …

• 11 (or 10, or 26) dimensions. A dimension is a way of variation in the position of particuloid matter (meaning wavicle-stuff—particulate matter plus physical energy-waves-smears, and plus the weird smears of probability, whatever that might even mean ontologically).
•  10 million superclusters. A super cluster is the largest group type for galaxies. Galaxies occur first in groups that are gravitationally bound with each other, called galaxy groups, that contain 50 or fewer members. Galaxy collections larger than groups (that are still first-order clusterings) are called galaxy clusters. Groups and clusters are also clustered, and these are superclusters.
• 200 billion – 2 trillion galaxies.
• 10²⁴ stars.
• 10⁷⁸ – 10⁸² atoms.
• The age of the Universe is 13.8 billion years.
•  The diameter of the Universe is 93 Gly.

• 13.772 billions years have passed since the Big Bang.
• The lower limit of electron lifespan: 6.6 x 10²⁸ years (66,000 yottayears).
• The half-lifespan of a proton: at least 10³⁴ – 10³⁵ years.

Finally, a units that we can really grasp, that is, emulate in imaginary and rescaled motion. Actually, we can schematize distance really well. We can imagine walking there, with a full and thick first person “reliving”-type “hypnotic” immersive imagining, and then just speed this up in same way the we speed through “… in an hour” in our heads when we grasp that phrase’s sense.

And here it is!

The speed of light is 327.85 YARDS per MICROSECOND.

What’s that? You can’t really grok microseconds? Too small?

Then try this:

Light, in one MILLISECOND, flies a distance of 186.28 MILES—or half the distance from LA to San Francisco. (That helps! If you could shuttle run between LA and San Francisco 500 times in one second, you’d be a light person.)

You can get this one if you’ve driven non-stop. 186 miles is you, driving, listening to the radio and thinking, planing, fantasizing, remembering, worrying, etc. for three hours. And your speed is the normal 60 mph. (And you schematize that by the intensity of your attention: the faster the more fear the harder the vigilance.)

Body (human)

• 10¹⁴ atoms in the average cell
• 37.2 trillion self cells in the human body
• 38 trillion bacterial cells in the human body
• 7 x 10²⁷ atoms in the average (70 kg) human

Brain (human)

• 86 billion neurons and 84 billion glial cells in human brain
• 280 cm³ grey plus white matter in the frontal cortex
•  69 billion neurons and 16 billion glial cells in cerebellum
•  16 billion neurons and 61 billion glial cells in cerebral cortex
• 3 x 10¹⁴ synapses (assuming 20,000 synapses per neuron) in cerebral cortex
•  700 million neurons and 7 billion glial cells in brain stem
• At least 10¹⁵ (1 quadrillion) synapses in the brain at its max (age three).

Glossary

• Pulses — Pulses are the edible seeds of plants in the legume family. Pulses grow in pods and come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) recognizes 11 types of pulses: dry beans, dry broad beans, dry peas, chickpeas, cow peas, pigeon peas, lentils, Bambara beans, vetches, lupins and pulses nes (not elsewhere specified – minor pulses that don’t fall into one of the other categories).

Pulses have a long, rich history. The first evidence of pulses comes from 11,000 years ago in the Fertile Crescent, a region in the Middle East which was home to some of the earliest human civilizations.

Pulses are annual crops that yield between one and 12 grains or seeds. The term “pulses” is limited to crops harvested solely as dry grains, which differentiates them from other vegetable crops that are harvested while still green.
