GOOGOLPLEX

A googolplex is the largest named number ever created. A googolplex is a one followed by a googol of zeroes. It is physically impossible to write out or type this number, even if all the matter in the universe was transformed into ink and paper on data disks. A googolplex is actually useless to the scientific community because it exceeds the number of particles in the universe. There literally isn't enough room in the universe to write this number. If the universe were packed solid with neutrons and there was no empty space anywhere, the amount of particles calculated would be trivially small compared to a googolplex. To write a googolplex down you would write a one followed by 10,000 trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion zeroes. Replace the last zero with a one and you would have a higher number than a googolplex. But compared to infinity a googolplex is still just a tiny fraction, if at all of infinity. While not really a number, infinity refers to a limitless quantity. A number specifies an amount and infinity is not a representation of an amount. Finally there is no practical meaning in displaying anything in googolplex terms.
