I think it is just me and numbers. I like there to be a set figure or estimate and so I am very glad to see that you have the EEP's number set for the proton.

I had asked a question about tractors and generated a large finite number of them. Then was told about an infinite number of rubbish bins. Well that was really helpful because an infinite number of bins whether stacked together or evenly spread would still cause a gravity well from which there is no escape.

Tractors:- each tractor has all possible iterations of all possibilities in Planck units. So first Planck interval 10^-44 all possibilities of that tractor. Second interval 10^-44 all possibilities of all those iterations and so on. Big numbers but finite. It worked out with my finite number of tractors I still could not stop the collapse of the universe.

So it seemed a bit like a waste of effort. That is why I like real numbers.
