I'm not going to double check your work, but it's amazing that we were all touching at one time. According to Big Bang Inflation theory, the entire universe, currently 13.2 billion light years in radius, and assuming we're actually 'seeing' to its near end/beginning, was once contained within a volume of space many billions of times smaller than the nucleus of a hydrogen atom.

Makes you wonder how big Michelle’s shorts will be after they can no longer maintain pressure.

According to Big Bang Inflation theory, the entire universe was once contained within a volume of space many billions of times smaller than the nucleus of a hydrogen atom. I just heard that theory expressed on a science show the other night. Frankly, I can't (or don't want to) wrap my mind around something so weirdly counter-intuitive as that.
What makes more sense to me, is the alternate theory of successive Big Bangs, wherein the universe expands to a certain point, then contracts in a Big Implosion, which of course, sets off another Big Bang.
Sort of a birth-growth-decay-death / birth-growth-decay-death cycle, but on a cosmic scale. The Immortal Universe.

If I could just store the stuff in my garage with even just a small fraction of that efficiency, I'd be able to park something in there...
