Useless Facts (depending on your point-of-view)
The estimated diameter of the observable universe is 93 billion light-years.
Useless to me. Maybe not to an astrophysicist. Interesting though. |

A lightyear is about 5.88 trillion miles.
All ya gotta do is multiply 5.88 trillion times 93 billion. Let's see now... 5,880,000,000,000 x 93,000,000,000 = 5,468,400,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles Did I do that right? I think I got lost in all those zeroes.

I think I ended up with an extra zero.

When I was growing up we were taught the long scale billion definition (a million million), though it had already become standard to use the short scale in official figures.
ETA: according to Wiki the short scale was officially adopted by the UK government in '74, when I was 2, so it must have coexisted for a few years after that

...the lesson of which is, as usual, don't sell the rights to your recorded material and don't make a shitty record deal so you can have a hit single

Useless to you, but not useless to me:
The average person files a car insurance claim every 17.9 years.
