Only finite amount of integers like 10^91 (or so, number of protons in the universe) exist in this sense.
- Koshkin 5y agoOn the other hand, it is interesting to think about the fact that, say, the Avogadro number is usually represented as a real number; the problem with the number of protons or other particles is that their number is unbounded: given enough energy, another particle can always jump into existence...
- imtringued 5y agoThat's still arbitrary (designed by humans) because you decided to count each proton as 1. We could also count every proton as 2 and it would be just as arbitrary.
