You won't have enough addresses for Dark Matter, Neutrinos, etc. Atoms
wind up using up about 63 bits (2^10^82) based on the current SWAG. The
missing mass is 84% of the universe.
Fortunately, until we find it, it doesn't need addresses.

IP addresses to objects smaller than a single atom.
we assign them /64s
