Here's an interesting fact for you - there are more molecules of water in a (full) tablespoon than there are tablespoons of ocean water.

Huh? So you're saying that the water is just high enough for us to not be swimming through sand or something?

The estimated number is a billion trillion trillion

which is 1*10^51

or

1 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 Stars

each galaxy is estimated an average 100 000 000 000 stars. Those two number divided would suggest there is about 1*10^40 Galaxies..or

10 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 Galaxies

*EDIT*And if each galaxy has a 1 in 100 000 000 000 000 chance of inteligent life than that makes 1*10^29 intelligent life forms in the universe

*100 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 forms of inteligent life.

That's a LOT!!!

I believe there are orange stars in the universe. Since numbers are infinite orange will eventually be the name of a number. Therefore I believe it is a very high number.
