The pure number of planets tells nothing. Someone can make a program with 2^64 different worlds, that is a billion billion, or one that is 128 bit, that is a billion billion times larger, with just a few lines of code.
For example I can procedurally generate every possible book, including every book that ever existed, or will ever exist, with this little program.
string[] letters = {"A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L","M","N","O","P","Q","R","S","T","U","V","W","X","Y","Z",
"a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j","k","l","m","n","o","p","q","r","s","t","u","v","w","x","y","z", ".", ",", "!", "?" ," "};
public NoMansBook(long seed, long length)
{
Random random = new Random(seed);
while(length>0)
{
Print(letters[random.Next(58)]);
length--;
}
}
Do you simply not get that the size of the universe tells nothing about it's meaningfulness? That a planet where most of the Pokemons are pink and run mostly left is essentially the same as one where most of them are are blue and and run mostly right? I just dont get that you cling to this when everyone can see in the videos that the worlds all look more or less the same, just with some noise, showing the same objects over and over? Or can you simply not imagine that someone working for a big enterprise and all the media goons that can talk to him tell you a lot of bullshit?
