Another factor is estimating the total amount of hydrogen available to form new stars. The last estimate I heard was nine times as much as is currently bound up in stars.

That's fascinating I would've thought most of it is in stars and the rest is a miniscule amount by comparison like 98% or more was in stars or something.
