Ok, relevancy!

Suppose a hydrogen atom were a football. That gives it a diameter of say, 10 cm, versus 1 Angstrom, or 1 billion times as large on a linear scale. Then .3 atoms per cc translates to .3 footballs per cubic 10^9 centimeters, or cubic 10^4 km. So that’s 71000 footballs within the sphere with radius equal to the earth-moon distance, by my calculation.

Well hey, that’s a lot of footballs!

Celebrating is more important than actually carrying the ball into the endzone.
