Rest on deck

Planck time

Theoretically, the planck time is the smallest measurement of time that will ever be possible, roughly 10−43 (Scientific_notation) seconds. (Planck_time)

Age of the universe

The age of the universe is the time elapsed since the Big Bang. The current measurement is roughly 13,8 x 109 years (Age_of_the_universe). Convertering years gives us 8,073313348 x 1060 planck time.

Number of possibilities from shuffling a 52 deck card

A 52 deck card can be arranged in 52! (Factorial) ways, roughly 8,06581751709 x 1067

Conclusion

If the universe was sorting the number of possible 52 card deck combinations at planck speed since the Big Bang, it would have completed  8,073313348 x 1060 combinations. It will take the universe roughly another 8,065816709 x 1067 planck time or 1,378718573 x 1017  years to finish all possible combinations. By that time the universe would be roughly 10 million times older than its present age.
