To address everything in the Universe wouldn't you then get stuck in
some kinda of loop of having to address the matter that is used by the
addresses... i.e. to address everything in the Universe you need more
matter than the Universe?

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.

In technology, not much.  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
