Again comparing something like factual numbers of IPv6 addresses the the very fuzzy math of guessing how many atoms there are is very silly indeed.
A bit of thought will show that you can probably compute this based on our estimage of the mass of the earth, which is known to be 5.97219 × 10^24 kg, and an estimate of what elements the mantle and core are made up of. http://education.jlab.org/qa/mathatom_05.html I don't think that 3 significant digits counts as "very fuzzy math"....
