How Many Things are There in the Observable Universe ?
The Immaterial Universe.
The observable universe; space, time, field; is one thing, an expanding singularity.
There are two types of things in the observable universe. Material; atoms, mass; and Immaterial; idea thought, energy.
Having determined the nature of the observable universe and the nature of its two main forms the amounts of the material and immaterial can be calculated to determine the number of things currently in the observable universe.
Material
These are atoms and atom variation possibilities. They are also known as Mass.
Sub-atomic particles have been excluded from the material calculation since they are measured in terms of energy not mass and are therefore immaterial in nature.
Atoms
The mass of ordinary matter in the observable universe can be calculated from the volume and the critical density of matter. Assuming that the mass of the observable universe is made up of Hydrogen atoms.
Critical Density of matter / mass of Hydrogen = 1.45e53 kg / 1.67e−27 kg
Total number of atoms in observable universe = 1e+80 Hydrogen atoms

Atom Variation Possibilities.
Given the total number of atoms in observable universe equals 1e+80 Hydrogen atoms and restricting the variations to the number of natural elements on the periodic table to 94 and not up to 118 including artificial ones.
The 1e+80 particles can interact to form 94 natural elements.
1e+8094 variations
Total number of possible variations of atoms = 1e+7520

Total Material Things
Total number of material things in the observable universe = 1e+7520
Immaterial
These are ideas, thoughts and holograms. They are also known as Energy.
Sub-Atomic
Allowing for 7e+87 sub-atomic components.

Ideas
Allowing only for all known life forms.
‘Humans share the planet with as many as 8.7 million different forms of life (species), according to what is being billed as the most accurate estimate yet of life on Earth.’
‘How many species on Earth? About 8.7 million, new estimate says‘
Source: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/08/110823180459.htm
Total number of possible idea producing locations = 8,700,000.
Source: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2011/aug/23/species-earth-estimate-scientists
‘More than 99 percent of all species, amounting to over five billion species, that ever lived on Earth are estimated to be extinct. Estimates on the number of Earth's current species range from 10 million to 14 million, of which about 1.2 million have been documented and over 86 percent have not yet been described.’
Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extinction
Allowing for 5,000,000,000 species + 8,700,000 species.
Allowing for 5,000,000,000 species + 14,000,000 species.
Total life forms 5,008,700,000 to 5,014,000,000 life forms have ever existed on Earth.
Allowing for approx. 5,000,000,000 life forms.
Earliest Life Form
Allowing for the earliest life form to be 3,700,000,000 years old.

The Constant Sensory Rate
Allowing for ideas to be constant input over 24 hours, 8760 hours per year.
Speed of Thought
Allowing for the speed of an idea to be the human form of 13 milliseconds.
‘U.S. researchers discovered that the human brain can interpret images that the eye sees in just 13 milliseconds - the first evidence of such rapid processing speed.’

‘The human brain has about 100 billion of them. Each neurons fires (on average) about 200 times per second. And each neuron connects to about 1,000 other neurons.’
Source: thephenomenalexperience.com/content/how-fast-is-your-brain
Allowing for an idea, thought, energy transfer to be 1 neuron interaction to allow for the maximum number of interactions.
Allowing for 1 second = 3.17098e-8 years./ 200 = 1.58549e-10 years for 1 neuron firing.
Total Duration of Ideas
3,700,000,000 years / 1.58549e-10 years.
Total of 2.3336634e+19 years of ideas up to the present time.
Allowing for the duration of the Earth to have 5,000,000,000 years of further potential idea time.
5,000,000,000 / 1.58549e-10 years.
Total idea time remaining for the Earth = 3.1535992e+19 years
Allowing for the total life forms of Earth to double.
Total Life Forms for the duration of the Earth = 10,000,000,000
Total of idea time up to the present time = 2.3336634e+19 years
Total idea time remaining for the Earth = 3.1535992e+19 years
Total idea time for duration of Earth = 2.3336634e+19 + 3.1535992e+19 years
Total idea time for duration of Earth = 5.4872626e+19 years
Total number of ideas that have ever occurred = Life forms that have ever existed on Earth x Total Idea time.
10,000,000,000 x 5.4872626e+19 years
Total number of ideas that can ever occur on the Earth = 5.4872626e+29
The Holograms of Past Interactions.
Space is perceived as a hologram.
Space perceives itself; senses itself; detects itself detecting; through humans; as a hologram.
There is also a quantum correspondence to space detecting itself detecting as a hologram.
The Architecture of space is a projected illusion; a hologram; of a past events.

All of the components of the observable universe interact to form things that interact.
The material and immaterial interact with a human being only though human senses.
Therefore the material things previously calculated can be stated to be immaterial in nature when sensed by human beings.
Therefore the total material amount of things in the observable universe can be added to the immaterial of sub-atomic and idea.
1e+7520 + 7e+87 + 5.4872626e+29
Total Immaterial
Total number of immaterial things in the observable universe
Approx.1e+7520 since the other immaterial components are numerically minor in comparison.
Conclusions
There are 1e+7520 things in the observable universe.
The material things can be shown to be immaterial when sensed by human beings.
Therefore all things are sensed; by human beings; as immaterial.
The observable universe is only immaterial, idea, thought, hologram in the form of energy.
