Alright, I know where they went wrong here. There are more hydrogen atoms in a glass of water than stars in the universe.

There are about 1.58 x 10^25 hydrogen molecules in 8oz of water, and there are an estimated 10^22 - 10^24 stars in the universe.

Edit: super script markdown wasn't working

Is it wrong? I'll do some complex math, so feel free to ask follow up questions.

Hydrogen atoms in one molecule of water: 2

Stars in the entire solar system: 1

2 is larger than 1 [citation needed]

I'm sorry for your poor reading comprehension.

... Read the image again. Go on.

Read my comment explaining the mistake they made. Go on.

a hydrogen molecule is H2, this is about water
