"Observable universe" isn't how much we can see, rather how much it is theoretically possible to observe by any physical means.

I also don't think that water drop fact is correct. The estimated number of stars in the observable universe is 10^24, which is about an order of magnitude more than 1 mol, and 1 mol of water is about 18g, which is quite a bit more than 10 drops.

Infinity beats both.

Yes, but both of those measures are in the finite space.
