Almost inevitably, at this point someone proffers an even bigger number, “googolplex.” It is true that the word “googolplex” was coined to mean a one followed by a googol zeros. ... True enough, but there is nothing as large as infinity either:infinity is not a number.It denotes e...
A Googol is already bigger than the number of elementary particles in the known Universe, but then there is the Googolplex. It is 1 followed by Googol zeros. I can't even write down the number, because there is not enough matter in the observable universe to form all the zeros:...
Is googolplex bigger than infinity? Almost inevitably, at this point someone proffers an even bigger number, “googolplex.” It is true that the word “googolplex” was coined to mean a one followed by a googol zeros. ... True enough, but there is nothing as large as infinity either: in...
Even If you try to grasp the number of digits that constitutes TREE(3), or the number of digits of the number of digits in TREE(3) — your head would still collapse into a black hole because there’s a certain maximum limit of entropy that can be stored into your head. ...
same volume as a grain of wheat, then there are 20 x 1.25 x 1012= 2.5 x 1013grains of sand in this beach. This amounts to 25 trillions of grains of sand in this particular beach. Similarly, one can calculate the number of sand grains on every beach in the world and add them all...
and there, or so I’ve been told. It still pains me to look at my NCAA Tournament bracket. But I’m not alone. Smart people make little mistakes all the time. Even Google wastechnically a mistake. (It was supposed to be “Googol”, what they thought would be short for googolplex) ...
