Thanks, I like that comparison. Now I wish I could think of a way to mesh this with the infinite monkey theorem!

  So Borges' Library of Babel -- every possible 3200 character book from a 25-character alphabet; essentially the 'space' equivalent of the infinite monkey theorem's 'time' domain -- is sufficiently large that if we took this universe and shrunk it down to the Planck length (the smallest length there is) and filled another universe with these femtouniverses, and then scaled that one down likewise, and repeated this process EIGHTY times, we'd be able to fit all the books in. And Hamlet would be split amongst dozens of these books. 25^3200 is a large number.
