Assuming space is quantized at the Planck scale, the numbers of atoms in the universe is tiny compared to the number of space points.

Assuming the many worlds interpretation of quantum physics is true, then the number of atoms includes all combinations of locations, momentum, etc., and the real number of atoms is vastly vastly greater than combinations of just about anything else you might imagine. (Except for combinations of configurations of quantized spacial points!)
