It's amusing to think that we have notations for numbers that are infinitely bigger than the number of atoms in space. One gogoolplex is one such number, and when you go play with Knuth's Up Arrow Notation you get even bigger numbers. I don't even know what kinds of equations actually use such big numbers. I think Mathematicians are (not so)secretly insane.

  Check out Graham's Number, which, in addition to being much larger than a googolplex, also has the distinction of being the least accurate upper bound in the history of mathematics.

On a related note, my 3yo son ran over to me the other day and shouted "Daddy, I love you ten googolplex!"

I was going to mention it, but thought best not to speak of more stuff i don't understand. Lol. I was checking it out again today. It's... Mind boggling. I mean, the first term of the power tower is already larger than the number of planck volumes in the universe. It exponentiates FROM THAT. Man. Why?

Mathematics are wizards.

Yes we are.

The hive mind is mathematics and wizards. Thought the outer-kind should know that.

Mathematicians are wizards, but programmers are sorcerers. That shit is magic, but they don't even know how it works.

Do you know how long someone who is as sarcastic as I am would last in prison? Suuuuuuch a long time.

More cool stuff

Wow... That's actually pretty amazing. I wonder if there's a way of cutting that tail off without triggering the chain reaction?

There are english subtitles and they're astoundingly accurate. Very clever!

Silas Malafaia for those who don't know, is a Preacher and one of the heads of one of the most corrupt churches in the world, and also a politician.

I hope that isn't an accurate view...

Hilarious, though.
