What's the biggest number you know?

master_q · January 17, 2004

I did not look at the link so I don't know. I'll have to check it out, but there is no argument in mathematics what 1/0 is according to the concepts of calculus. However, I disqualify using this type of number to say "it's the biggest known #." The #s that fit this category are natural numbers.

I looked at the site

I understand the "zi" concept - it seems to make sense but again I disqualify it to be relevant to the topic at hand

There, I win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

infinity is not a number!!!!!!!!!

the distance between Earth and Polaris (North Star, 400 light years). 3,784,320,000,000, Kilometers, but I am positive my math is off, because nearly 4 TRILLION Kilometers doesn't sound nearly far enough.

wait I know something the biggest number I know is octooctogintillionplex which is (10^267)^(10^267)

super huge number!!!!!

now i am the winner and remember that wiener is just winner spelled poorly!

February 24, 2004

The BIGGEST number I know is "Old Man River" from the musical "Showboat". It's a real show stopper!!!........Oh you weren't talking about musical numbers??? Sorry! :) :roflmao:

What the title says, the biggest number I know is Tredicillian. [1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000] That's 48 zeros!

Arg, I put it in the wrong forum.

There is no "biggest number" since the number could be of an infinite size.

Imaginary numbers...

Unreals......

MMMMMM....

:dude:

stoned_vulcan · March 18, 2004

im not sure the biggest number i know btu what about 9 googlplex? its more than one :bow:

stoned_vulcan · March 18, 2004

infinity.

The largest number I have heard of other than from here:

100 grillion to the googolplexed power

This article says that the universe is at least the above in radius. It's a very long article about dimensions and stuff so I'll post an excerpt to show you.

TheDoctor · March 19, 2004

Article excerpt:

Click for Spoiler:

Then a generation of astronomers caused further complications by trying to send radio messages to aliens, also known as SETE. What they ran into quite by accident was a very faint trace of helium radiation consistent with a hydrogen explosion in deepest intergalactic space. Cause it was heat radiation its decay was quite measurable by radiotelescope, and its decay measured at about 20 billion years. What could this radiation, permeating every corner of the most empty space in the universe we can measure, be. Well the obvious is to wondrous, but it does cause yet another weirdness. If this radiation is what it only could be and the big bang happened only 20 billion years ago, than how the hell is it so damm big. No matter in the universe can move faster than light, so ergo the radius of the universe shouldn't be more than 20 billion light years. The nearest galaxy to our own milky way is M-33 which is about 2 billion light years away and that's nothing compared to what has been measured by the Hubbell so far. Take that 2 billion light years as the average distance between galaxies in the same group, take that figure times a billion to the billionth power and you get something near the distance between galactic groups. Now if you take every scrap of astronomical data ever gathered there has been about 10 thousand galactic groups known. Now given the curvature of space time and the math involved in Einstein's formulas we know that the universe is at least about one billion times ten to the tenth power times the volume so far measured. The result being that the universe as it is now is at least 100 grillion to the googolplexed power light years in radius, (a googolplex is a one followed by a million zeros). To say the least that's just a tad bigger than 20 billion, so that means that the universe has to have either been expanding a hell of a lot faster than light, which according to Einstein is impossible in a four dimensional universe, or the universe has been expanding in a lot more directions than we imagine which fixes the problem with Einstein anyway.

"Grillion"??? I've never heard of that and it isn't even in my dictionary.

This article mixes ancient mysticism and unproven statements to produce a result that the writer made up. Further the writer produces a unit of length by taking a product of a constant times a unit of volume. (One of the first things I teach physics students at the University is, "Check the units! If the units don't make sense, then you

probably did it wrong!")

In the scientific world, we have a technical term for the "scientists" who produce such results and write such articles: crackpots.

Accepted, PROVABLE, minimum radius of the universe = 20 billion l.y. = 1.9*10^26 m = 1.9*10^28cm = 1.9*10^29mm =1.9*10^32um = 1.9*10^35nm =1.9*10^38pm = 1.9*10^41fm.

Interesting note: Size of a proton ~ 1fm. Fascinating that the currently measureable

universe spans 41 orders of magnitude!

wow. oh well. I got tricked.
