There are an estimated 10^80 fundamental particles (quarks, electrons, photons... mostly photons) in the observable universe, which is pretty close to 2^256 as these things go. "Cosmological" doesn't have quite the same ring to it though.


How about sub-quantum? Maybe there's something smaller than the chance, but nobody alive will be the one to discover it.
