To emphasize the size of that search space- let us measure the diameter of the observable universe in planck lengths, the shortest possible length. We would need over 24 trillion digits to write the number of universes we would need for the quantity of planck lengths to equal the number of possible programs.
That 99.99% number is missing several billion additional 9s.
