You won't have enough addresses for Dark Matter, Neutrinos, etc. Atoms wind up using up about 63 bits (2^10^82) based on the current SWAG. The missing mass is 84% of the universe.
Fortunately, until we find it, it doesn't need addresses.

But I'd be pretty surprised if the laws of arithmetic were to change, or if we were to find it useful to assign IP addresses to objects smaller than a single atom.we assign them /64s
