I came across this by pressing the random button on wikipedia.org. Apparently the number is larger than a googleplex, but I'm having a hard time to imagine how big it really is.

Graham's number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Whatever the **** that means. Any attempts to help?

This first term, g1, is already much greater than the number of atoms in the observable universe, and grows at an enormous rate as it is iterated through the sequence g.
