the thing I don't get is the point. what's the point? is this just people telling me there's a big number?

It's one of the biggest numbers ever thought up that has an actual purpose. The point of the video is how mindbogglingly large it is. It makes a googolplex (a number larger than the amount of grains of sand that would fit in the observable universe, multiplied by itself 10 times) look extremely small.

So, it's a number so large that if you were to try to remember the entire thing, your brain would literally form a black hole.

Eventually we need to harness the ability to cause the graham's number black hole and use it as a death sentence.

No, the knowledge would become so dense that it would warp gravity.

Sounds like the most boring number ever. It's so repetitive in process
