Re:Observable Universe contains 10x more galaxies than previ... by jules on Thursday January 04, 2018 @06:24AM (#16069496)
For very large values of large enough that is always true. Even on the condition that they use the Latin alphabet and have exactly the same set of words and exactly the same set of meanings of words, there are still n factorial ways of assigning a meaning to each word. For n=1000 words that is already gigantic. Even if there is a civilisation that speaks English words on every planet in the observable universe, the probability that any one of them assigns the same meaning to words practically zero.
