Re: I thought that I was good at Math
I believe it is true, Crashette.
People who calculate numbers of these size have to have names for them. And I've heard either the term Googol or Googoplex to express the number of moves or outcomes that can occur in a chess game.
I think the search engine, Google, also derived their name from the term.
It's interesting to read though. We could also use the name to express the amount of love for one another?

Re: I thought that I was good at Math
Are you trying to hint at something GM?
I mean really though, someone had too much time on their hands, I had heard of Google and about that is why they named their website Google but I honestly didn't think that there were names for all those numbers. |

Re: I thought that I was good at Math
I just find it interesting that numbers somewhere in the universe make a googolplex look like a drop of water in an ocean.
Isn't it odd how numbers never end?

Re: I thought that I was good at Math
But then....
whats after a googolplex?
You have to think, if Numbers never end, why are there not a never ending stream of words for the neverending numbers?

It's called "infinite".

Then why stop at "Googolplex"?
Why that one?
Why not stop at Googol? Or Billion? Or Trillion?

Please......inifinity is a concept, not a number. 
For any number with more then 100 consecutive zeros, you would just use scientific notations. 1x10E100 and so forth. Infinity can't be described in terms of numbers, because infinity is a concept, not an actual number. Infinity has a name, it is infinity.
I mean, consider that there are more infinite numbers between 0 and 1 then between 1 and infinity. Crazy stuff.

There are a set number of definite numbers between 0 and 1.

Re: I thought that I was good at Math
wow. that's pretty insightful. i wonder if anything will ever amount to the size of a googolplex. If something does, maybe it'll be something like a nebula or a galazy [/ random guesses]

What, you don't think there are more than a Googolplex atoms?

Re: I thought that I was good at Math
In what, the planet? The galaxy? The universe?
Don't forget how big a googolplex is. A mole of atoms is only 6.626e23
Edit: Some fun tidbits I found out about a googolplex.
If you made a program to hold a googolplex. It would take up about 10e95 megabytes of hard drive space.
If you ran a program to calculate a googolplex with the fastest microprocessors we have, At today's speed, the program will run for 3.125*10^85 years.
Thats big.

Of course not. Atoms aren't even real. Just like the googoplex, atoms are a silly concept created by humans who feel uncomfortable if they can't understand and define everything in our world. Numbers are false and so are atoms. You will never be able to unlock or define the secrets of life and the universe. It is beyond us forever. |
