According to some scientists, a googol is probably greater than the number of atoms in the universe. Since this is also the number of zeroes in a googolplex, it would not be possible to write down or store this number (googolplex) in decimal notation, even if all the matter in the universe were

Well, 10^100=10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 so I guess I could write it down googol :) However to the point of this article, attempting to calculate the googolplex using Mathematica causes overflow error. Oh well..
854:
Based on the assumption that there was a big bang, and that there was only one big bang, and that far away things have a different colour, and some kind of weird space observations, some think that there are less than a googol atoms in the universe. And even though the alien lord

From the previous figures it can be seen that a list of positions of every particle at every possible instant of time, at the maximum possible accuracy, would contain well over a googol entries (of the order of 10), but still far less than a googolplex.
991:
Fewer than a googol Planck times have elapsed since the Big Bang (the current figure stands at around 8×10 Planck times). On the other hand, the size of the observable universe is about 9×10 cubic Planck lengths.
928:
It isn't necessary to note it is a 1 followed by 100 zeroes since that is at the very beginning of the article. Also it doesn't fit the category which is how to write a googol. The definition is already provided.
817:
The article is accurate and I believe you answered your own question. 10 is 100 which is one followed by two zeros. 10 is 1000 which is one followed by three zeros. 10 is one followed by one-hundred zeros.

Fewer than a googol Planck times have elapsed since the Big Bang (the current figure stands at around 8×10 Planck times). Similarly, the size of the observable universe is about 9×10 cubic Planck lengths.

than a Googol. The size of the observable universe in cubic Planck lengths does not share this property so introducing the sentence with "similarly" is confusing. I have replaced the paragraph with
140: 949:
The first half of that might have merit, but since I heard of the term googol long before Google started (probably before I was aware of the Internet), the end is pure fantasy. -
983:
I don't see the similarity between the two sentences referred to by the word "similarly". The major point made by the first sentence is that the elapsed Planck times is
774: 727: 841:
can not because it contains a googol number of zeros- meaning it has more zeros than all the atoms in the universe. Er.. but you probably knew that. I dunno.
1051: 813:
The beginning of the article is not accurate, it says 10, == 1 with 100 zeros, this is not accurate, its eather 10*10 or 99 zeros , coz 10 =100, two zeros!!

hang on, we do write this in decimal above don't we? Do we mean that a gp is greater than the no of atoms?
