Googol Plex

A 'googol' is the number 1 followed by 100 zeros. A googolplex is 10 to the power GoogolNumber, or 1 followed by a GoogolNumber of zeros. A perfect number for folks that think size doesn't matter!

And my 7-year old invented Gargoogolplex, which is a googolplex googolplexes! This boy can think BIG (well, at least he can speak BIG ;-)

You couldn't write a googolplex if the zeros were as big as protons- it would fill the known universe! Someone actually measuring this may be a fairly rare occurrence, though.

Would a gargantugoogolplex be gargoogolplex gargoogolplexes? Is this suggestive of a pattern of googol prefixes and suffixes akin to metric prefixes? Like so:

  1. ^100 = googol
  2. ^googol = * - plex or googolplex
  3. ^googolplex = gar - or gargoogolplex
  4. ^gargoogolplex = gantu or gargantugoogolplex

What would come next?

  1. ^gargantugoogolplex = megagargantugoogolplex ???
  2. ^megagargantugoogolplex = fuga-gargantugoogolplex ???? ..... Then Jigglypuffplexplexplexplex!!!!
The Jigglypuffplex = 10^fugafugafugafugafugagargoogolplexes

See ReallyBigNumbers for that...

Shouldn't we follow the -plex convention?

  1. ^N = N-plex
  2. ^googol = googolplex
  3. ^googolplex = googolplexplex
  4. ^googolplexplex = googolplexplexplex

and so on. This time, we always know what comes next. --AnonymousDonor

  1. ^Jigglypuffplex = Jigglypuffplexplex
  2. ^Jigglypuffplexplex = Jigglypuffplexplexplex
  3. ^Jigglypuffplexplexplex = Jigglypuffplexplexplexplex
  4. ^Jigglypuffplexplexplexplex = Jigglypuffmegaplex .... Then ?
