Numbers.

This number is so big that if you took the universe and wrote one digit in every Planck volume ( the smallest space possible), then shrunk the universe itself down to the space of a Planck volume, then used a second universe to continue, then shrunk it down as well, the amount of Planck-sized   universes you would need wouldn’t be able to fit in the regular-sized   universe.

And there are even bigger numbers out there.

And yet this number still fails to adequately express what it will cost to keep that “ cheap” used Range Rover on the road for another 12 months.

If you haven’t seen this, I think you’d like i t. Grab a drink, order some food and enjoy

But it’s only $16 00 and the body and interior are immaculate ! I could just cut my losses if it got too bad!

Now double it!

I don’t get this obsession mathematicians have with finding large numbers because for any n (large number) the wil l be an n+1 .

Yes, but this one was actually used in a mathematical proof. It’s not just a big number, but a big number wi th a purpose.

This is fascinating so far. It kind of supports this theory I read about where everyone is immortal in their own universe. Basically, if you were to die right now, you’d stop existing. Your consciousness can’t exactly not-exist, though, so you automatically stay in the timeline where you * didn’t* die instead. It’s kind of creepy in a sense, if it has any merit.

I wish I had a way to explore and solve s ome of these far out ideas, as apposed to just thinking about them. Well, once I find the fountain of youth I'll have an infinite amount of time to come up with ideas. Any day now!

You sound like me shopping for a Jeep right now.

Well, except I can build a bulletproof, 500k monster of an 545RFE for about $750.

I think that’ll buy me half a window regulator assembly on a Range Rover.

Graham’s number pales in comparison to the Busy Beaver numbers, which grow so quickly that it we cannot directly compute the sixth one with the amount of computing power that would theoretically be available even if every molecule in the observable universe was involved in the computation.

Well, that’s not very interesting. It’s much more interesting to come up with a closed-form (computable in constant time) formula for a large number.

Also, mathematicians are weird

So, you’re talking Planck^Planck is not adequate?

But there will always be bigger numbers because original number + 1.

No. When you die, you remain in God’s memory until He puts you back together later on. At least, that’s what I have been told. But if you’re really dead , and that’s it, then what was the point of life ? Why are we here at all? Or are we really here ?
