You can’t. It’s absurd. That’s my point.

Even if you had a perfect 3D coordinate system and atoms worked on float64 boundaries, you’d still have 64 bits to represent one atom. So you could fit, at best, 128 atoms. These are the competing scales.

Unless you knew ahead of time the exact state of an entire universe, then the kilobyte would be your key into that value, as it were.

(Ninja edit again: you’d need 3 float64s! So 128/3 atoms in a kilobyte. Not much. Point stands)
