Real World Assumptions

Some scenarios can be expressed in Solidity and the EVM, but are expected to
never occur in practice.
One of such cases is the length of a dynamic storage array overflowing after a

One of such cases is the length of a dynamic storage array overflowing during a
push: If the ``push`` operation is applied to an array of length 2^256 - 1, its
length silently overflows.
However, this is unlikely to happen in practice, since the Earth, the sun and
the universe might not be around anymore at the end of the 2^256 operations.
However, this is unlikely to happen in practice, since the operations required
to grow the array to that point would take billions of years to execute.
