In the average human body there are roughly 7x10^27 atoms. To put that into context, that is 70,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms.
There are between 10^78 to 10^82 atoms in the known, observable universe. That works out to between ten quadrillion vigintillion and one-hundred thousand quadrillion vigintillion atoms.
There are roughly 10^77 (more accurately 2^256) Bitcoin private keys.
Each page on keys.lol generates 128 keys. Let's assume it takes each page load roughly 10 seconds. If every human on earth started simultaneously refreshing this page as quickly as they could (with zero breaks), it would take an astronomically long time, approximately 5.35 x 10^50 years, for the first person to find a Bitcoin private key that corresponds to an address with a balance. This time frame is vastly longer than the current age of the universe, illustrating the impracticality of this approach and the incomprehensible size of numbers of keys we're talking about.
