==I suggest Wikipedia be the first to write out the entire number==

"...if you had an unlimited supply of ink and paper, you would need around 10^20 times the current age of universe to fully write down a googolplex.."
I personally doubt this is true. I could fully write down this number within a year.
"A googolplex is the number 10^googol, which means it's a 1 followed by a googol of zeros (i.e. 10^100 zeros)."
So it would take me 10 to the twentieth power to write 10,100 zeros? I could do that in a month...
Please explain, how many zeros (NUMERIC, i.e. 1, fifty, one million) Zeros are after the one???

IDIOOOOOT!!!! The number below is 10 raised to the power of googol, therefore it is a googolplex, but it is not the actual number written down. ie a million can be written like this 1,000,000 or like this 500,000*2 or like this 1*10^6.

It is impossible, '''really''' impossible, because to write any number down you need at least 1 atom (say, to indicate each zero) of 'ink' and the number of atoms in the entire Universe is only about 10^80. So, it is impossible to '''write''' or '''type''' the number googolplex as suggested in the article: "... which can also be written as the number 1 followed by a googol zeros". Also think about the amount of paper you would need; that would require about 10^23 Universes of ours in paper only. And think about the storage of that paper, the buildings, the size of planets needed, etc. Yes, '''really, really''' impossible. The only way it ''could'' be possible (hihi), is in the far far future, when the Universe has expanded so much and the matter in it has expanded so much that a number with a googol number of zeros and one one (!) can be spread enough across 10^80 planets as big as our Earth (for each atom in our current Universe, we need a whole planet to store this number) that contain each 10^20 digits of this number, taking up most storage available on those planets, far enough apart, taking care not to create a black hole (see elsewhere in these comments). This is just a rough estimate. Enjoy! [[User:Bcurfs|Bcurfs]] ([[User talk:Bcurfs|talk]]) 19:55, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

It still wouldn't be possible in billions of years because new matter isn't added with expansion, you'd still have roughly the same number of particles. [[User:Pongley|Pongley]] ([[User talk:Pongley|talk]]) 12:33, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

A googolplex is 10^googol, or 10^10^100. Even if it only took you a millisecond to write every digit (which is very unrealistic already), it would still take you 10^97 + 1 seconds to write that. There are 31536000, or 3.1536*10^7 seconds in a regular year. Which means it would take you 3.170979198*10^89 years to write it down. Maybe there are more digits, I don't know. That's all that my calculator will show me. How old is the universe? 13.8 billion years? That's 13,800,000,000, or 1.38*10^10 years. So, actually, it would take more like 2.297811013*10^79 times the age of the universe to write it, even with a very unrealistic speed. To be able to do that in a year you'd need to write down a digit every 3.1536*10^-93th of a second. And to do it in a month, you'd need to write down a digit every... HOLY MOTHER OF CLEARSIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!! 2.628*10^-94th of a second! Even if you just held down the zero key on a computer, even when you're asleep, no computer can compare to that ridiculously fast speed. I doubt we could even do it if we successfully built a quantum computer. And you'd just crash the computer, so don't even try it. Feel free to write out a googol though, it's only a hundred zeros. Oh, by the way, a googol is about the estimated number of atoms in the universe. Just saying. For size.

== Is it really true that one can't fit the number of zeros in a googolplex into the known universe? ==

I heard this articulated by Carl Sagan in the wonderful series Cosmos and reiterated with a slightly different number of total elementary particles in this article.  What I wonder about is how the vast emptiness of space fits in here.  Don't the elementary particles occupy a tiny fraction of the actual "volume" of space?  Maybe the answer is that if that fraction isn't less than 1 / 10**11, it still does not provide the capacity for a googolplex of elementary-particle-sized zeroes.

If you could magically make a googol zeros and one one appear out of thin air, sure, I think the universe would appreciate being not quite so empty.

== There are enough Planck volumes in the universe to fit the number of zeroes in a googolplex. But there aren't a googolplex number of Planck volumes. ==
Subh83 is correct. When considering the Planck volume, the universe has more than enough "boxes" to '''store the number of zeroes in a googolplex.'''. It is easier to understand when working up from a smaller scale.

Hundred has has 2 zeros. It is denoted by <math>10^{2}</math>. You need 2 spaces to write the number of zeroes in Hundred. Its full form is 100.

Googol has 100 zeroes. It is denoted by <math>10^{100}</math>. You need 100 spaces to write the number of zeroes in googol. Its full form is 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.

Googolplex has 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 zeroes. It is denoted by <math>10^{10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000}</math>. You need 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 spaces (or <math>10^{100}</math> spaces or 1 googol spaces) to write the number of zeroes in googolplex. Therefore its full form cannot be written here. 

However if we take one Planck volume to represent a zero, we need 1 googol of Planck volumes to represent all the zeroes of a googolplex. The universe has <math>10^{184}</math> volumes, which is equal to <math>10^{100} * 10^{84}</math>, or in other words, the universe has <math>10^{84}</math> times more space than is needed to write 1 googol of zeroes.

But if the universe wanted to have a googolplex of Planck spaces, it would need to be <math>10^{9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999816}</math> times greater. Then it would have <math>10^{googol}</math> spaces or 1 googolplex spaces.

== writing googolplex on paper/ printing it on book pages ==

@ [[Googolplex#Size]]--- that whole [[spiel]] is helpful in communicating the vastness of the number, but it sounds  all stated in pre-digital age terms and somewhat irrelevant in today's world.

can anyone say how easy it might be to "write" all the zeros needed to write a 10<sup>[[googol]]</sup> in a [[digital file]] or series of digital files? this seems like a relevant question. I mean, how many more years into the future will people be inclined to think about ''printing the zeros on book pages'' & filling up the yet-observed universe with those pages?

I don't know if any of this is worth mentioning in an article. After all, digital representation is no more than a convention.

I've been spending a lot of time on this talk page trying to talk some sense into people who underestimate how large a googol is. Don't even try to store it on your computer or in a book. On a book you'd just use up all the available atoms in the universe and more. On a computer you'd probably crash it beyond repair. You could dedicate your whole life to the task of writing down a googolplex, but it would only take about 2*10^80 times the universe's current age to do it. Even if, a googol years from now, human beings have technology that is a googol times out current technology, they could not even hope to try to write down a googol or store it on the internet, lest they break the internet, for real this time. I think the one good thing about it then would be that it would make Wreck-It Ralph's "breaking the internet" look so pitiful in comparison, no one would ever think about that incident again and he would be saved from all court charges.

== Incorrect Misconceptions ==

This article contains errors on the numerical value of googolplex.

Googolplex is just 1 followed by one thousand zeroes. You can use a calculator to prove it but note that not all calculators have the ability to compute it. Using the built-in calculator in Windows 7, if you type 10 to the power of 10, you get 1 followed by 10 zeroes; then if you raise it to the power of 100, you get 1e.1000 which means 1 times 10 to the power of 1000, which is equivalent of one followed by one thousand zeroes. 

You can prove it using inductive reasoning.
10^10 is equal to one followed by ten zeroes. If you square that result, then it would be the equivalent of 10^10^2. 10^10^2 is equal to one followed by twenty zeroes. Each time you increase the exponent by a whole number, you would expect another 10 zeroes which is true. So you would predict that 10^10^10 is equal to 1 followed by 100 zeroes and 10^10^9 is 1 followed by 90 zeroes. Therefore, you can conclude that 10^10^100 is indeed, 1 followed by 1000 zeroes.

With that said, it would be incorrect to say that if a person wrote googolplex by using zeroes (i.e. 1,000,000,000,000...) until they reach 1000 zeroes, would take up more time than their lifetime. Instead, it would only take about 8 minutes and 20 seconds assuming the person writes on average, 2 zeroes per second. (1001/2)/60 On the other hand, it would be reasonable to state that writing the set of whole numbers leading to googolplex (i.e. 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11...) would take up more space than the observable universe since doing so would get exponentially longer to increase the number of digits. For example, writing the whole numbers leading up to 9 starting with zero would take 10 tries, going from 10 to 99 would take 89, from 100 to 999 would take 899 and so forth.

I wanted to note that this only applies to 10^10^100. If googolplex means 10^(10^100), then it would be a completely different number. This is because what is inside the parenthesis needs to get evaluated first. In this case it would be 10^(1 followed by 100 zeroes). By using a little bit of mathematical induction you can conclude that it has a googol amount of zeroes. For instance, 10^7 has 7 zeroes, 10^10000 has 10000 zeroes, and therefore 10^(10^100) has 10^100 (googol amount of zeroes). But it seems like the article doesn't put the parenthesis.

: In general misconceptions are incorrect, so you do not have to repeat yourself.  The value of (10^10)^100 is indeed quite different form 10^(10^100), the latter being the definition of a googolplex, a 1 followed by a googol of zeros.  The parenthesis tend not to be used because exponents are generally considered to associate right-to-left, not left-to-right.  So, a^b^c and a^(b^c) are evaluated the same way, but (a^b)^c is done differently.  When you have a power of a power, you can multiply the exponents, so (10^10)^100 = 10^(10*100) = 10^1000, as you say, but this is not a googolplex.

== Original Research ==

{{Reply|Nutster}} I removed this section:

:A Planck space has a volume of a [[Planck length]] cubed, which is the smallest measurable volume, at approximately 4.22{{e|-105}} m<sup>3</sup> = 4.22{{e|-99}} cm<sup>3</sup>.<ref>{{cite web|title=Planck volume|url=http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=planck+volume|publisher=Wolfram Alpha}}</ref>  Therefore 2.4&nbsp;cm<sup>3</sup> contain about a [[googol]] Planck spaces.  Only about 4{{e|80}} cubic metres exist in the observable universe,<ref name=wolframvolume /> giving about 9.5{{e|184}} Planck spaces in the entire observable universe; therefore, the number googolplex is about <math>10^{(googol-185)}</math> /* rounding */ times larger than even the number of the smallest measurable spaces in the observable universe. If one Planck space is used to represent each digit of a googol, a mere 2.4&nbsp;cm<sup>3</sup> of volume gives us enough Planck spaces for that task - but there are not enough Planck spaces in the observable universe to represent a googolplex.

This is original research because the only source cited is a Wolfram Alpha page on Planck length. This qualifies as synthesis under [[WP:SYNTH]] (the editor was using sources to piece together an argument rather than simply drawing from a source). I removed this paragraph because it was the site of many disputed edits and does not have any other references. I don't see any value to this paragraph.

* By this argument, pretty much everything in the Size section should be trimmed, except for the first paragraph that directly references Dr. Sagan.  Each of the other paragraphs are logical extensions from a single fact of measurement, such as this one is, by the reference to the [[Planck length]].  So where to stop trimming?  All of this section (along with Scale, following it) is to give a scope of just how vast and big these numbers are.  I am not saying we should keep this if it does not belong, but let's make sure that 1) everything that should be removed is and 2) the purpose of the size section is still preserved in the article.

If there are no third party reliable sources that support the claims the article is making, then unfortunately it has to go. "Logical extension" is not good enough. Just because information is useful does not mean it belongs on the encyclopedia. It may belong better in [[WP:Alternative_outlets|alternative outlets]], where such [[WP:TRIVIA|trivia]] is welcome.

The original source said the 10^6 zeroes can be printed into a single book. But it said nothing about a single book being able to contain 10^(10^6) zeroes in a single book.

== Writing a Googolplex  ==

"it is 1 followed by 10<sup>100</sup> zeroes; that is, a 1 followed by a googol zeroes."

According to the Googol article, that's 100 zeroes. If I write 1 followed by 100 zeroes, that'll take a few minutes. I think this part needs rewriting or re-editing. [[Special:Contributions/89.243.192.82|89.243.192.82]] ([[User talk:89.243.192.82|talk]]) 08:13, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

:::The explanation in [[Power of 10#Googleplex]] is correct.  This article's lead says {{tq|it is 1 followed by 10<sup>100</sup> zeroes; that is, a 1 followed by a googol zeroes.}}  How can we make that clearer without cluttering the lead with a string of 100 zereos?

== The "plex" opetarion ==

Googolplex is 10^googol, so it looks like that adding -plex suffix we sceate a number that is equal to 10 to the power of "plexed" number, which means that googol is hundredplex.

:Logically, that name might have been used, but it doesn't appear commonly in reliable sources.  Similarly, a hundred might have been tenty, but we refer to it by the more normal term instead. [[User:Certes|Certes]] ([[User talk:Certes|talk]]) 10:24, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

== I don't get it ==

10^100 is 1 followed by one hundred zeroes. Anybody could write that. If I wrote a Google I could write it now. Googleplex can't be that bigger. [[Special:Contributions/82.153.25.237|82.153.25.237]] ([[User talk:82.153.25.237|talk]]) 11:53, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

:A [[googol]], although very big, is easily written.  A [[googolplex]] is much, much bigger.  Writing it as 1000... would require more zeroes than there are particles in the universe. [[User:Certes|Certes]] ([[User talk:Certes|talk]]) 22:50, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
::Every time this question of explanation comes up, I look to the article and wonder if there's any better way to visualise such a large number and I'm still stumped.

== Wrong grammar ==

Is this intentional? "that is, a 1 followed by a [[googol]] of zeroes"

I don't think the "of" as in "googol of zeroes" is correct [[User:Hazythundermc|Hazythundermc]] ([[User talk:Hazythundermc|talk]]) 22:49, 1 June 2025 (UTC)
