What's the Biggest Number That You Could Count To?

[stillprophet]

"It takes months to count to 1 Million"
*like 5 minutes later*
"How many Planck sized 0's can we fit in the observable universe"
Vsauce is that you?

[pinkgoergefloyd]

“Imagine the size of the *entire observable universe* “

Yep. Cause I am able to imagine that

[brownie]

“… a mere googolplex…”
Me: “no. no more bigger numbers. that’s too big. NO.”

what we learn: 1 plus 1 the test: times 2454677446 the exam: this shit

this is what I think about at night!!! thank you for providing this information to the non intellectuals watching who didn't figure this out because their brain cells aren't nearly as numerous as mine.

I don't know how many times I had to pause this video to push my brain back into my head.

This is more of people not comprehending the scale of a number rather than how close something is.

The numbers involved in far-future cosmology are crazy too. If proton decay occurs, baryonic matter will cease to exist in about 10^36 (1, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000) years, and black holes will decay via Hawking radiation in about a googol (10^100) years. But if proton decay doesn't occur, it gets a lot wilder: On large enough timescales, any element heavier than iron is essentially radioactive and decays to iron-56, and any element lighter than iron can fuse to higher elements via quantum tunneling, which is basically extremely improbable but not impossible random chance. Keeping those things in mind, if proton decay doesn't occur, we can expect all matter to turn to iron and clump into iron stars in about 10^1500 years. And *those* will turn into black holes via quantum tunneling in somewhere between 10^10^26 and 10^10^76 years, and evaporate via Hawking radiation effectively instantaneously on those timescales. And *then*, we can expect a new universe to appear via random quantum fluctuations around 10^10^10^56 years, a number that defies comprehension.

Of course, those are all peanuts compared to things like Graham's Number. But just imagine how much counting you could get done in that time! ;)

My stroke had a brain trying to understand this.

[BrosCrypto]

The biggest number that I can think of is 1 Followed by Infinite Infinities so 1xF(Infinity)^(Infinity)

[Constantine]

This made me realize how short life is.

4:12 You skipped sextillion to not get demonetised don’t think I didn’t catch that

[GlobalWarmingSkeptic]

"Can you lift an electron?" "Yes of course."
"Can you lift the observable universe?" "why do you ask? They're effectively the same thing."

Aye I will stop you there!

Me: *wait a minute-*
