Default Re: One In A Googol vs One In A Googolplex

googol = 10^100, such a massive number it's beyond comprehension.

googolplex = 10^googol = not really sure how to describe it. Just say infinite instead its the same thing basically.

1 is as close to infinity as a googleplex so that makes no sense

thinking about a googolplex makes my head explode

my first thought is that C isn't used, with just As and Bs.

agree to quote carl sagan in cosmos(greates science documentary ever) "A piece of paper large enough to contain all the zeroes in a googleplex could'nt be stuffed into the known universe"

probably a poor choice of words by me, but I hope others got the gist of what I was trying to say.
