I remember my dad asking me one time when I was in middle school: “Do you think there are more stars in the universe, or more grains of sand in all the beaches on Earth?” I had no idea.
Having loved astronomy since I was little, I guessed the stars. He guessed sand. Do you know the answer? If you do, I’d love to settle the debate!
Of course, it’s a rhetorical question. We often think of those things as being more in number than we could possibly imagine. Whatever the number is, the commas alone are probably more than we even want to think about counting.
