Not that difficult. Your cellphone has presumably several megabytes of
storage. One MB corresponds to roughly 10^(2400000) states. (8million
bits 2^10N is approx 10^3N)
Number of particles in the universe, don't know, but number of atoms is
generally though to be around 10^80. Number of particles is much larger
say by a factor of 10^10 (which may be an overestimation). total so far
10^90. Age of the universe 3.5e17 seconds. Planck time 5.4e-44. so about
6e60 planck times. Multiply: 6e150 which still leaves a factor of
10^2399849 to play with.
Probably lots of math mistakes, but you get the point.
