A googolplex is a 1 followed by a googol of zeros. It's impossible to write out, but in scientific notation it looks like 1 x 1010^100.
Written out in ordinary decimal notation, it is 1 followed by 10100 zeroes; that is, a 1 followed by a googol of zeroes.
What's bigger than a googolplex? Even though a googolplex is immense, Graham's number and Skewes' number are much larger. Named after mathematicians Ronald Graham and Stanley Skewes, both numbers are so large that they can't be represented in the observable universe.
Googolplex may well designate the largest number named with a single word, but of course that doesn't make it the biggest number. In a last-ditch effort to hold onto the hope that there is indeed such a thing as the largest number… Child: Infinity! Nothing is larger than infinity!
(This might sound familiar, as Google was named after this number, though they got the spelling wrong.) Graham's number is also bigger than a googolplex, which Milton initially defined as a 1, followed by writing zeroes until you get tired, but is now commonly accepted to be 10googol=10(10100).
TREE(3) is a colossus, a number so large that it dwarfs some of its gargantuan cousins like a googol (ten to the one hundred), or a googolplex (ten to the googol), or even the dreaded Graham's number (too big to write).
Rayo's number: The smallest number bigger than any number that can be named by an expression in the language of first order set-theory with less than a googol (10100) symbols.
Beyond the infinity known as ℵ0 (the cardinality of the natural numbers) there is ℵ1 (which is larger) … ℵ2 (which is larger still) … and, in fact, an infinite variety of different infinities.
Nicknamed "Megatron" after the Transformers character of the same name, he is regarded as one of the greatest wide receivers of all time. Calvin Johnson. Johnson in 2019. No. 81.
As massive as a googol is, a googolplex is many, many times larger, such that it's impossible to write all the zeros out.
Googol is 10 to the 100th power, which is 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. Googolplex isn't just that number but has that many zeros in it. It simply has no other nameable name.
No, gazillion is not a specific number. It is an informal term that refers to a large quantity of something. Examples: 'Mary has a gazillion stamps in her collection.
Googol. It is a large number, unimaginably large. It is easy to write in exponential format: 10100, an extremely compact method, to easily represent the largest numbers (and also the smallest numbers). With the smallest of effort, you can also present it in the full format: a “one” followed by one hundred “zeros”.
Visualized this way, you'll see it's possible to keep up this one-to-one correspondence between our sets forever, which means infinity and infinity plus one are actually equal.
In mathematics, transfinite numbers are numbers that are "infinite" in the sense that they are larger than all finite numbers, yet not necessarily absolutely infinite.
The Absolute Infinite (symbol: Ω) is an extension of the idea of infinity proposed by mathematician Georg Cantor. It can be thought of as a number that is bigger than any other conceivable or inconceivable quantity, either finite or transfinite.
Duovigintillion. A unit of quantity equal to 1069 (1 followed by 69 zeros).
a cardinal number represented in the U.S. by 1 followed by 303 zeros, and in Great Britain by 1 followed by 600 zeros.
A unit of quantity equal to 10153 (1 followed by 153 zeros).
A unit of quantity equal to 1099 (1 followed by 99 zeros).
So TREE(1) = 1. Using just green seeds, the first tree is a single seed, and the second tree is two green seeds, which contains the first tree. The game ends, and TREE(1) = 1. Numberphile. Now we play the game with two types of seeds, or TREE(2).
