There are more ways to order a standard deck of 52 cards than there are atoms on the Earth. The actual number is 68 digits long.

In fact, despite the fact that poker, solitaire (and other card games) have been played for hundreds of years, it is highly likely that a properly shuffled deck has ever been in the same order.

Put another way, every shuffled 52-card deck has had its own unique order which has likely never been duplicated.

I find that to be an amazing fact and yet it doesn't even come close to describing infinity.
