You are of course correct. After I estimated the size I immediately suspected what you say here, without even knowing an estimate for #hydrogen particles. So much for
the hydrogen economy :-(
The optimistic response, though, is OK, how many universes do we need? (I hear there's PLENTY to go around.)
