Eccl 3:11 He has made everything appropriate in itstime. He has also set eternity in their heart, yet so that man will not find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end. • A googol is the large number 10100, that is, the digit 1 followed by one hundred zeros in decimal representation. • Other names for googol include ten duotrigintillion on the short scale, ten thousand sexdecillion on the long scale, or ten sexdecilliard on the Peletier long scale • A googolplex is the number 10googol, which can also be written as the number 1 followed by a googolzeros (i.e., 10100 zeros). • 1 googolplex • = 10googol • = 10(10100) • = 1010,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
Man struggles to grasp eternity! • Magnitude of Graham's number • To convey the difficulty of appreciating the enormous size of Graham's number, it may be helpful to express—in terms of exponentiation alone—just the first term (g1) of the rapidly growing 64-term sequence. First, in terms of tetration ( ) alone: • where the number of 3s in the expression on the right is • Now each tetration ( ) operation reduces to a "tower" of exponentiations ( ) according to the definition • and where the number of 3s in each tower, starting from the leftmost tower, is specified by the value of the next tower to the right. • In other words, g1 is computed by first calculating the number of towers, n = 3^3^3^...^3 (where the number of 3s is 3^3^3 = 7625597484987), and then computing the nth tower in the following sequence:
We need spiritual ability to see eternal stuff. • 2 Kin 6:17 Then Elisha prayed and said, "O LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see."
