That's a six with how many zeros?
21 zeros.

"6 billion trillion" could also be expressed as "6 sextillion."

6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles = 1,020,668,570 Light Years.

I guess a billion Light Years doesn't sound as impressive as 6 billion trillion miles.


And like has been said before... it's space. With more stars in the Universe than there are grains of sand on all the beaches on all the earth it'd make sense that there's be a small pocket of nothingness here and there.
