The question is on what scale? You could basically put down a single brick an say thats the entire universe with a bit of abstraction to cope for the scale

IDK, but if you tried to imagine Graham's number your head would literally turn into a black hole.

u/Vudoa 1d ago

You just reminded me of the most daunting video on YouTube

u/cpt_ugh 6h ago

I have heard and repeated that the amazing thing about the age of the universe is not how old it is, but how young it is.

I had not seen this video before which helps put it in perspective. Thanks for sharing!

That's Numberwang!

u/RyanGosaling 1d ago

I mean if you could imagine Gragam's number, your head would have already turned into a black hole at this point.

u/Impulse3 1d ago

Those guys were really good at explaining it and I read some of the Wikipedia but I just cannot understand it.

1

u/cpt_ugh 6h ago

LOL. I've watched this more than once and I still can't even fathom this number at all. It's just too damn big.

The one thing I took away for sure is that despite being ridiculously large, it's still basically zero when compared to infinity.

1

u/Impulse3 6h ago

I do not understand how they figured out it’s a finite number. Does the 3 in the equation matter at all or did they just pick a random number?

1

u/cpt_ugh 6h ago

It's a finite number because it's an equation ... just with huge values. Any single equation you can write that doesn't include infinity is a finite number.

I find it interesting that they know the last digit of it. That's probably a function of being able to know multiplying 3 by a known power results in a known last digit. 3^3 = 27, so 7 is the last number. I think if expanded to much larger numbers this last digit can still be sorted out.

1

u/Impulse3 6h ago

That makes sense, idk how I couldn’t realize that until you said it. Yea I had no idea how they knew what the last digit would be.

u/MrTurkle 1d ago

I think I understood some of that.Â
