TWO UNBELIEVABLE NUMBERS...........GOOGOL & GOOGOLPLEX

-


IN 1920,EDWARD KASNER'S 9 YEAR OLD NEPHEW COINED THE TERM GOOGOL,WHICH IS 10 RAISE TO POWER 100(10^100),THEN PROPOSED THE FURTHER TERM GOOGOLPLEX TO BE ONE FOLLOWED BY WRITING ZEROS UNTIL YOU GET TIRED.


KASNER DECIDED TO ADOPT A MORE FORMAL DEFINITION,AS DIFFERENT PEOPLE GET TIRED AT DIFFERENT TIMES.

SO IT THUS BECAME STANDARDIZED TO BASICALLY A GOOGOLPLEX IS A NO IN WHICH 1 IS FOLLOWED BY GOOGOL NO. OF ZEROS..NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT ITS SIZE.

A GENERAL BOOK CAN BE PRINTED WITH 106 ZEROS(AROUND 400 PAGES AND 50 LINES PER PAGE AND 50 ZEROS PER LINE).SO IT REQUIRES 1094  SUCH NOTEBOOKS TO PRINT ALL THE ZEROS OF A GOOGOLPLEX .IF EACH BOOK HAD A MASS OF 100 GRAMS,THEN TOTAL MASS OF NOTEBOOKS IS 1093 kilograms.


AS WE COMPARED THIS TO THE MASS OF OUR PLANET i.e  5.972 x 1024 kilograms & THE ESTIMATED MASS OF OUR GALAXY IS   2.5 x 1042 kilograms.
SO WE CAN SEE  THAT THERE IS NOT ENOUGH SPACE IN OUR UNIVERSE TO WRITE THIS NO.

IT'S ESTIMATED THAT THERE ARE MORE ZEROS IN A GOOGOLPLEX  THAN THERE ARE PARTICLES IN THE OBSERVABLE UNIVERSE.
WRITING THE NUMBER WOULD TAKE AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF TIME.IF A PERSON CAN WRITE TWO DIGITS PER SECOND,THEN WRITING A GOOGOLPLEX WOULD TAKE ABOUT 1.51×1092years,WHICH IS ABOUT 1.1×1082 TIMES THE ACCEPTED AGE OF THE UNIVERSE

FOLDING A PAPER 42 TIMES

-
Image
MEAN DISTANCE BETWEEN EARTH AND THE MOON IS 384,000 km.AS A4 SHEET IS 0.1 mm THICK.SO THICKNESS OF 3.84*10^12 PAGES EQUALS TO THE DISTANCE BETWEEN EARTH AND THE MOON. SO LETS TAKE A A4 SHEET AND FOLDS IT. ITS THICKNESS BECOMES TWICE AND WHEN I FOLD IT TWICE ON ITSELF,ITS NOT 3 BUT 4 PAGES THICK.   IF I FOLD IT A THIRD TIME, I'LL SEE THAT IT IS 8 PAGES THICK.SO YOU CAN SEE A PATTERN. PAPER FOLDING IS EXPONENTIALLY,IF I FOLD IT A FOURTH TIME ,IT'LL BE 16 TIMES THICK,AND SO ON. AS WE CAN SEE BY TIME I GET TO 20 FOLDING,MY FOLDED PAPER IS 10 km HIGH. AS I REACHES TO 41 FOLDING ITS THICKNESS WILL BECOME APPROXIMATELY HALF OF THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE MOON AND THE EARTH. YOU WILL GET TO SURPRISED  BY KNOWING THAT  WHEN  WE REACHES 42th FOLDING,THICKNESS WOULD BECOMES  EQUALS TO THE  MEAN DISTANCE BETWEEN THE EARTH AND THE MOON.

                                                    GREAT PYRAMID OF GIZA THE GREAT PYRAMID OF GIZA IS THE OLDEST AND LARGEST OF THE THREE PYRAMIDS IN THE GIZA PYRAMID COMPLEX BORDERING WHICH IS NOW EI GIZA,EGYPT. EGYPTOLOGISTS BELIEVE THE PYRAMID WAS BUILT AS A TOMB FOR THE FOURTH DYNASTY EGYPTIAN PAHARAOH KHUFU.THEY TOOK ALMOST 20 YEARS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION. IT WAS ORIGINALLY 146.5 METERS TALL BUT WITH EROSION IT'S PRESENT HEIGHT IS 138.8 METERS.EACH BASE SIDE WAS 230.4 METERS LONG. THE ESTIMATED MASS OF THE PYRAMID IS 5.9 MILLION TONES.THE VOLUME,INCLUDING AN INTERNAL HILLOCK IS ROUGHLY 2500000 CUBIC METERS. BASED ON THESE ESTIMATES,BUILDING THE PYRAMID  IN 20 YEARS WOULD INVOLVE  INSTALLING APPROXIMATELY  800 TONES OF STONES EVERYDAY. ADDITIONALLY,SINCE IT CONSISTS OF AN ESTIMATED 2.3 MILLION BLOCKS,COMPLETING THE BUILDING IN ...
