Researchers fill solved an apparently overwhelming physics problem involving some truly huge numbers. In summary,the problem asks you to suppose that you fill 128 tennis balls, and can arrange them in any way you like. The challenge is to work out how many arrangements are possible and – according to the research – the answer is approximately 10250, and also known as ten unquadragintilliard: a number so big that it exceeds the total number of particles in the universe.
