aye, that's why I want to limit the range to measurable differences. If a planck volume is the smallest measurable space, and a planck time the shortest measurable time, then that establishes the groundwork for all the math to follow.

Actually ya. I dislike Gravity Falls because someone I greatly dislike likes it, and I dislike Steven U because of the fandom drama last year.

Awesome. Then I guess what we're looking for here are the maximum number of measurable differences in universes.

we're gonna die of diabetes,

I have a very shaky, surface knowledge of topics like astrophysics, but I pay attention enough to understand a few things, and I think I'm pretty good at deducing facts from known variables. Having said this, I wanted to put forth what I think is the number for possible universes. To get this number, which will be FUCKING HUGE (though nothing will probably ever match Graham's Number), I had to determine the size of the universe, and how long the universe will last from beginning to end. Size of the universe= Currently, the largest known object is the Hercules Corona Borealis Great Wall. It's 10B light years across. It's so large, it's said to contradict the Cosmological Priciple, which states that at a sufficient enough scale, all matter is evenly distributed throughout the universe. Therefore, the lower bound for the size of the universe should be whatever makes the Great Wall once again compliant with the Cosmological Principle. This is probably a ghastly huge number. Defining the beginning and end of the universe= It's said that heat death isn't actually the end of the universe. After very long timescales, a particle would inevitably come in contact with another, and through gravity attract others, until once again we have galaxies and an entire universe again, and eventually everything is exactly as it is now. I'm sitting here typing this, you're reading it later, everything is exactly as it was before. This is known as the Poincare Recurrence Time. Some models of inflation have the universe as being a googolplex meters across, and the Poincare recurrence time for a universe that large is 10^10^10^10^10^1.1 years. This number is laughably huge. Luckily, the Poincare recurrence for our observable universe is a mere 10^10^10^10^2.08 years. Don't hold your breath through that one either. So, that brings us to our solution. Let's say you have two parallel universes of a size that brings the Great Wall in compliance with the CP, and those universes have a Poincare Time of 10^10^10^10^10^1.1 years. These universes from beginning to end were mirrors of each other, no differences at all EXCEPT for one Planck second, one Planck volume was different from the other universes equivalent. Maybe the quantum foam in that Planck volume was different somehow, whatever the case may be, this is literally the only difference between them. Now you have to calculate how many different combination of differences there can be for all the Planck volumes and all the Planck seconds in these universes as defined above. This is what I think could be defined as the number of possible universes. Now correct me EVERYWHERE I'm wrong, so I can be laughed at for this wrong and silly idea.

You guys haven't had good coffee until you've bought some from the Citgo outside of ESPN in Bristol, CT. My favorite is the New England brand French Vanilla, with 5 squirts of French vanilla cream and 6 seconds of sugar from the pourer.

It's funny how silly the original movie has become, considering a type 3 civilization was brought down by a type 0, simply because they don't have Norton Antivirus.
