Lol.
I guess this concerns the observable universe, which has grown a lot since 1939. (Cf Hubble and “Hubble)
Any idea of why that particular number? Beyond the apparent joke?

Lol.
The number is curiously not that different from the currently understood number.To be honest I think there is only one electron in the universe. All these electrons we see are just the same electron weaving through space and time.LC

That "there is only one electron in the universe. All these electrons we see are just the same electron weaving through space and time" would explain telepathy and precognition.

The number is curiously not that different from the currently understood number.To be honest I think there is only one electron in the universe. All these electrons we see are just the same electron weaving through space and time.That is quite reasonable, but I am not sure an electron is a physical object, it is a locally observable invariant in some group theoretical transformation. The “electron” is a useful fiction, to send waves, or to make the atoms dialoguing into molecules and bigger strangely stable and persistent histories decorum.I al still curious why that number. I don’t have that book by Eddington.Bruno

I don’t have that book by Eddington.BrunoAn electron is the occurrence of some quantum numbers in a small local region with the occurrence of a measurement. Prior to a measurement in one sense there is no such thing as the electron as a particle. There are experiments where the spin of an electron can manifest itself in one place and the charge somewhere else. Certain interferometers can separate the electron's quantum numbers.LCLCI guess this concerns the observable universe, which has grown a lot since 1939. (Cf Hubble and “Hubble)
