   For something similar which belongs in the "important if true" category,   
   Barrow and Shaw (probably all papers you can find by these two authors   
   are relevant) point out that 10^120 is the square of the age of the   
   universe in Planck units.  This is connected to a definite prediction   
   for the sum of Omega and lambda: it should be slightly greater than one,   
   implying a spatially closed universe.
