| Sirrus:
I posted this in the atoms topic, but it didn't get a response and this number is so mind warpingly crazy that I think it should be brought to everyone's attention. Graham's number is bigger than almost anything you can imagine, basically. It is the upper bound in a problem that some dude named Graham thought up. To try and get an idea of how big this number is, think of all the atoms that can possibly be contained in the universe and you have still not conceptualized Graham's Number For those of you who don't feel like reading a wikipedia page about massive numbers, this is how to imagine Graham's number. Take 3^3^3. That is 19,683. This is the number of 'To the power of...'s in the next step of Graham's Number. There are 64 steps in this process. That is Graham's number. I daresay this number is larger than most people's conceptions of infinity. |

Even if you try the infinity plus one argument, because Infinity grows by factors of 10s, not single digits, so you'd fall way behind by the time you thought you were keeping ahead. :D |
