We're all made of stars.....

There may have already been mention of the fact that there are many more stars in the/our Universe than we suspected but I found the following tidbit rather interesting:

"It's fun because it gets you thinking about these large numbers," Conroy said. Conroy looked up how many cells are in the average human body — 50 trillion or so — and multiplied that by the 6 billion people on Earth. And he came up with about 300 sextillion.

So the number of stars in the universe "is equal to all the cells in the humans on Earth — a kind of funny coincidence," Conroy said.," Conroy said." (emphasis added)

-I know how many scientists and ATS members feel about coincidences so I thought it might be an interesting topic. There are other interesting correlations between the micro and macro.

Very interesting correlation.

Coincidence it may be, it is fun, still.

This is why we have astrology. This was known thousands of years ago. To bad they are teaching math calculations and spelling in school instead of understanding.

Coincidence?

I don't think thats real science as the total number of stars etc is unkown . We dont even know if there is a edge or its like a balloon surface of the end of universe. Too much guesstimates make a man sick

On a further note, the universe is mind.

I am mind.

So obviously what you find in the universe is going to correlate.

Funny coincidence indeed. I wonder if there are as many Galaxies as there are breasts and testicles.


Lol off topic but your avatar just made my girlfriend scream and run into the other room. She hates Chucky with a passion. Any sight of him will make her freak out and run. Not fun in your local CD store

You are right in a way.

There are stars for every action, as well as there being star for every person. There are stars for place, person and thing, there are stars for everything that happens.

hmmmm,

interesting .

Moby anyone ?

So thousands of years ago there were six billion people on the planet? Or just fewer cells in the body?

And, Omega85 a big to you! I was hoping that's what the thread was about.

Well, the sooner that everyone realizes that everything is from one source, the better off we will all be.

There ARE more stars than we suspected, and I think we will keep finding more, so maybe as the population of the Earth grows, so will our estimate of the number of stars, keeping this coincidence in sync?

I wasn't sure about that, until I saw a video that convinced me, which shows that everything is from one source:
