Dear Kap: The number of atoms in the universe is much larger. There are 6.0210^26 hydrogen atoms in each Kilogram. The mass of Earth alone is 5.97610^24 kg, so there is 3.59810^51 atoms in a earth sized chunk of hydrogen. The sun has over a million of these, there are 100 billion suns in the galaxy and there is about 100 billion galaxies in the universe. Thus the number of atoms in the observable universe is over 3.610^79, vastly more than your number. Heck Earth has enough atoms to allow each bit to use more than a trillion atoms per bit and still outrun 128 bits. And the universe can use more than a 100 atoms per bit to outrun 256 bit addressing.
