What is a Googol? (Google)

I explain what a Googol is (10^100) and I explain exactly how big that number really is.

Yes, Google.com got its name from Googol.

This video would be a lot shorter if you just recorded a video of you stepping on a scale.

Just noticed this response.

That was actually pretty funny! :)

I heard this before, but not so elaborately. Good job.

Thanks. Wikipedia mentioned that a googol was more than the number of atoms in the known universe, which stunned me. So I had to do the math to see how that could be. The rest of the arguement was mine. :) Glad you liked it.

Yes a Googol is big but there is a number called Googoldecaplex notated 10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^­100 being 11 levels of exponent. But what if you have a number with 101 levels of exponent like Googolcentiplex, you could notate this like 10^(101), but what about a number like 10^(1,000,000,000,000,000), it could be notated with 10^(10(15) and a number like 10^(10(1,000,000,000,000,000,0­00,000,000,000) notated 10^(10(10*27). Something to really think about.

@IAbortionsTickleI THe world would be a lot better if you'd step off a cliff!

[pgy002]

If you think a googol is big you should think of googolplex and googolplexian.

nothing is close to inifinity except the volume of the "invinsible," blanket that increases which started the big bang. lol Its still increasing.

[Ghaiyst]

Avogadro's number=6.022 times 10^23=1 mole of atoms lol im bored!

Cruel, but funny, some people take the weight funny :D

[Ghaiyst]

Fuck, that's huge!!!!!!!!

[ultimatespider17]

wow thats a big number but a googol is nothing compare to infinity.

That's gold, Jerry! Gold!
