When I were a young wet behind the ears space cadet I was told by a bloke in a rain coat with a bag of boiled lollies outside the Space Cadet Hall that there were more suns in the universe than all the grains of sand on every beach in the world plus all the grains of sand in evey desert in the world, he said it was huge, almost infinite he said.
Is that true?

Almost true, PWM, at least.

calls for an experiment. first we need the data. off you pop pwm and get counting.

Succinct. I like it. However, I do not know if that is just the current suns or includes all the suns that ever lived because that would be a nearly infinite sandy desert.
