Did you know that with 2048 words to choose from and a 12-word seed length, the number of unique combinations is 2048^12, which is approximately 5.4 * 10^39 combinations?
But for a 24-word seed, that number jumps to a staggering 2048^24 combinations, which is about 2.8147498 * 10^77 unique combinations!
The 2048^24 number is so mind-bogglingly huge that it's difficult to make a physical comparison, but let's try:
Imagine a beach filled with grains of sand. Now, for the 12-word seed, you would need billions upon billions of Earths filled with beaches to represent each unique combination. For the 24-word seed, think of taking that beach-filled Earth, making an entire galaxy out of those Earths, and then creating billions of such galaxies! Even then, you would still fall short of representing the number of unique combinations possible with a 24-word seed.
