    The universe isn't big enough to write the number googolplex in. Not even if you compressed each zero down to the size of a planck space. Plus there also isn't enough time in the universe to do it.

    Yes, the googolplex is one bad ass mother of a number alright.

    If you had a box with The Universe in it and you sat watching it closely for all eternity while the particles all darted around according to the laws of physics, it would take a googolplex^60 years for a state to repeat itself according to the laws of statistical mechanics.

    So be rest assured that you are not going to see the same universe when you wake up tomorrow morning or the day after.

    The term "googolplex" was coined by a nine year old boy in 1938.

    Here endeth my succinct thesis of the day on the wonders of the universe.

    Yep. Googolplex is 1 followed by 10^100 zeros. To put this in perspective, it's estimated that there are 10^80 atoms in the (visible) universe. So there are one-hundred quintillion (10^20) times as many zeros in a googolplex than there are atoms in the universe.

    I would have thought so but all I could find was an automated script attempting to type out a googolplex...
