Zeros gijinkas [pt. 5]

It was really fun to analyse zeros to get as much detail about them as possible :]

yay :D

Mermay Redraw!

The only thing I have learned from this is I still can not draw Eros nor Zod 💀

Ok so I’ve had this obsession for some time of contemplating concepts that are difficult to truly understand the magnitude of, like the size of the universe, or an eternity of time. In that obsession I’ve been thinking about the number googolplex, and whether it’s possible to write it down, the full number, so we can really start grasping how enormous of a number it is.

To refresh your mind of what a googolplex is, it is a one followed by a googol of zeros, and a googol is a one followed by a hundred zeros. In number form a googol looks like this: 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

Knowing that, I tried to think about what a googolplex would look like written down, but as you can imagine, it’s very hard to try and think about what a number like that would look like written down so then I thought ‘what if someone did try to write it down?’

So I tried to do that, and very quickly realized just how big googolplex is and that I did not have the drive nor the resources to write it down.

What I did to figure this out? I opened up a page in procreate, edited the canvas size, wrote a one, then ten zeros, and copy pasted those zeros several times. The Result?

This

Do you want to know how many zeros are on this page?

200,000

There are only two hundred thousand zeros on this page. That’s a lot of zeros, but it is nowhere near a googol of zeros. If I printed this page two hundred thousand times, I would only have forty billion zeros (40,000,000,000). Imagine two hundred thousand pages of this laid side to side on standard sheets of paper. I don’t know how many times I’d have to print this page to get to a googol of zeros, and that lack of knowledge will haunt me until someone more proficient at math than I comes along to tell me. Regardless, that’s a metric fuckton of zeros and I’m afraid.

Moral of the story? Googolplex is massive, infinity is fucktouple that size, and we live less than a micro fraction of that time so do what makes you happy because this is all we’ve got.
