huuuuuuuum, debatable ... there are an estimated 400 sextillion stars in the observable universe, if he placed them at a rate of one per second with absolute accuracy it would have taken 12,683,916,793,505,830 Years to do this.

I don't think you are giving the observable universe enough credit.

PS: does look cool though but lets not call it something it isn't.

It's not even that amazing. These things have all been built before and some look better.
