# A stack of one pound coins ( 3.15mm) would be -
2,488,669,312,468,890,000,000,000,000,000 miles high.


Or take 432,458,867,065,939,000 light years to get to the end of it.


These are big numbers so I'm sure i've fucked them up.

# schoolboy error
a lightyear is a measure of distance, not time.

I would take that long in years to get to the end.

So maybe this

"Or take 432,458,867,065,939,000 years to get to the end of it at light speed" would have been better.

I didn't mention "Kessler runs" and "under 6 parsecs" so i think its ok some how.
