According to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the universe is
infinite so it's overall population is 0 because whatever astronomical
number n you put for the number of people/animal/bacteria/whatever it's
still n/universe_size, which turns in n/infinite, thus yielding 0 or
very close. :)
that's why it's so quiet out there... :P
