At an average salinity of 3.5%, a cubic mile of seawater contains 166,000,000 tons of salt.

Assuming that you could tag, or otherwise differentiate all the molecules in a glass of water and then thoroughly mix them into the oceans there would be about 1500 in any given glass of water.

Viroids (bare nucleic acid without a coat of protein) are composed of around 10,000 atoms.

PPLO' s (pleuropneumonia-like organisms) are among the smallest free-living organisms and are composed of about fifty million atoms.

Eric Drexler's concept of nano-technology included what I call "glider-guns" but I've heard termed replicators or assemblers.

A Drexler-bot would be about 1,000,000,000 or so atoms, and replicating at about a million atoms a second, the system would copy itself in about 15 minuets.
This is on the same order as bacterium require under good conditions.


A cube 10,000 miles to a side easily encompasses the earth and her low-orbit area.

A cube 1,000,000 miles to a side encompasses most planets and their satellites.

A cube 1,000,000,000 miles across a side holds the inner planets of most solar-systems.
(Bode's Law)

A cube a trillion miles to a side holds the solar neighborhood.

A cube a million, billion miles to a side covers the local group of stars.

A cube a billion, billion miles to a side holds the milky way.

A cube a trillion, billion miles across a side holds the local group of galaxies. 

5,865,696,000,000 miles per year for light.



256 of a given cube gives me a volume hex for that scale.
This should be good enough for travel, etc.
The location of gameworld universes in relation to one another is an interesting question that depends on those fundamentals I've talked about.

It's May?!?
When did this happen?
