This is not a joke. For internal reason Eddington evaluated the number of
particles as N = 2 x 136 x 2^256.
Is 136 related to some physical constant? Why 2^(a power of two)? Any idea
where this estimation comes from, and why it would be exact?
This assumes a lot of thing about the universe, when we still don’t have a
coherent descriptive theory, nor unanimity of what that could, and if that
exists.
Then how to verify this?

I have not read the Eddington book so I cannot explain on how he came to
this result. Basically he thought that mind somehow is related to the
Universe and God. Some kind of mystics.
My source of information is
Helge Kragh, Higher Speculations, Grand Theories and Failed Revolutions
in Physics and Cosmology, 2011. Chapter 4, Rational Cosmologies.
