The longest word
If God had created the world with a single word, describing all there is to it, I wonder how long1 was this word?
_________
1 Actually, since the number of atoms in the observable universe is estimated to be at most 1080 (if that would be all hydrogen), and let's say he would need about ten letters on average to name each (the longest is Rutherfordium with 13 letters), that would only be a 1081 character word*.
Blimey, I hope there's an abbreviation for this one.
* But then it could have also been an 11 letter word: "Singularity"ǂ
ǂ That is, if God had used English. But its more probably Hebrew or something.
