i know that the volume of the average sand grain is 0.000002 in3, and i know that there are 254358061056000 cubic inches in a cubic mile. I tried online calculators built to hold HUGE numbers, but it still over loaded it.
Can anyone do this problem some how? I have no idea how one might go about this.
PS. a googolplex is 10^(10^100) or 10^googol

-
1 grain = 2.00E-06 cu in
divide by 2.54358E+14 cu/in / cu mi
gives you
1 grain= 7.86E-21 cu mi
googolplex 1E+(10^100)
product 7.86 x 10^( (10^100) - 21) cubic miles
Since the volume of the observable universe is only about 3.38×1080 m^3, it would be dwarfed in this mass of sand. I'll leave it to you to find how many universes could fit inside.
Physicists: please do not have nightmares about the violence of the collapse of all this sand into a black hole.
There are only about 9.4×10^79 atoms in the observable universe. So whoever ordered all that sand is going to take a big economic loss on it.
