📍 Matter is sparse and rare in the universe.
The scale of emptiness in the universe is staggering. Consider this: The Milky Way has a galactic volume of ~ 8 trillion cubic light years that contains on the order of ~100 billion stars. This is almost all just empty space filled with tiny points of light when viewed from a distance. How empty is the actual space?
Matter exists within the Milky Way at a rate of 1 part per 24 sextillion of empty space or 1 part per 24,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 🤯🤯.
