alt Hacker NewsNo. I believe that is more apples than there are atoms in the universe, so not only it is impossible to observe, it is a fundamental contradiction with our universal reality. No one and nothing will ever be able to observe or interact that many apples, and so a reference to that many apples is only an abstract mathematical convenience that has no direct bearing to reality.
Like infinity.
I'm not sure I actually believe that, I'm just thinking out loud. But it leads me to think the question "Does infinity exist?" should be answered with the question "An infinity of what?"
You say that as if we knew the number of atoms in the universe, or its size, age, and "duration".
But none of this can be observed either, which in my book makes your argument a bit weak.
Your "universal reality" is a construction relying in big parts on the mathematics relying on infinity as a concept.
