dropping the ‘3.0 x’ part and just looking at the order of magnitude. The number 10°, one with eighty zeroes after it, is the number of atoms in the Earth, and 10’ the number of particles in the known Universe. 10° meters is the ‘plank number’ believed to be the smallest dimension you can have, and 10!”

Big Bang? Is what we take for a Universe really nothing more complex than putting a DVD in the slot and hitting play? One last piece of trivia links Hofstadter with Penrose: Roger Penrose and his father invented the Penrose Steps, inspiring the never- ending staircase in the Escher prints featured in Hofstad
