A 'googol' is the number 1 followed by 100 zeros. A googolplex is 10 to the power GoogolNumber, or 1 followed by a GoogolNumber of zeros. A perfect number for folks that think size doesn't matter!
And my 7-year old invented Gargoogolplex, which is a googolplex googolplexes! This boy can think BIG (well, at least he can speak BIG ;-)
You couldn't write a googolplex if the zeros were as big as protons- it would fill the known universe! Someone actually measuring this may be a fairly rare occurrence, though.
Would a gargantugoogolplex be gargoogolplex gargoogolplexes? Is this suggestive of a pattern of googol prefixes and suffixes akin to metric prefixes? Like so:
10^100 = googol 10^googol = * - plex or googolplex 10^googolplex = gar - or gargoogolplex 10^gargoogolplex = gantu or gargantugoogolplexWhat would come next?
10^gargantugoogolplex = megagargantugoogolplex ??? 10^megagargantugoogolplex = fuga-gargantugoogolplex ???? ..... Then Jigglypuffplexplexplexplex!!!! The Jigglypuffplex = 10^fugafugafugafugafugagargoogolplexesSee ReallyBigNumbers for that...
Shouldn't we follow the -plex convention?
10^N = N-plex 10^googol = googolplex 10^googolplex = googolplexplex 10^googolplexplex = googolplexplexplexand so on. This time, we always know what comes next. --AnonymousDonor
10^Jigglypuffplex = Jigglypuffplexplex 10^Jigglypuffplexplex = Jigglypuffplexplexplex 10^Jigglypuffplexplexplex = Jigglypuffplexplexplexplex 10^Jigglypuffplexplexplexplex = Jigglypuffmegaplex .... Then ?
