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.

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?

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?

Nah, Bill Gates is the richest man in the world and he is only worth 40 Billion or so. Obviously a lot, but the only things that have trillions of dollars are entire countries/governments.

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.

No, there isnt.


You can break the decimals down into forever.

No matter how long you go, each number can still be a 9, and it wouldnt technically be a whole number yet.

There are the same amount of numbers inbetween each number, than there are in existance.


I think that made sense. *crosses fingers*
