Atoms, the googol, and the googolplex. Carl Sagan explains how numbers such as one-thousand, one-million, one-billion, and so are expressed in scientific notation. The googol is a 1 followed by 100 zeroes. This clip comes from Carl Sagan's Cosmos episode 9, "The Lives of the Stars."

  • worst piece of pie ever

  • @lampard554 I think it should be "carl sagan fucking destroys an apple pie. and is then awesome."

  • A better title would have been "Carl Sagan on atoms and the nature of infinity"

  • @murheed1 My calculator just pukes up an error message.

  • Sophisticated comment: Carl Sagan, prophet of the cosmos...

  • Googolplex is to Grahams number as an atom is to the universe. If you want to see a truly big number, search "a taste of infinity" on youtube. Grahams number will blow your mind
