when i was in 5th grade, which was 5 years ago, this was right when google first came out i think...

anyways, i remember my 5th grade teacher telling me that the word google was the biggest number possible and that it was bigger than infinity. Back then i believed it but then you really think about it, how is a number even possibly bigger than infinity if infinity goes on FOREVER?

and is googe EVEN a number?????

A tiny bit of researched about Google brought me this usefull information concerning their name

QUOTE
What's a Google?

"Googol" is the mathematical term for a 1 followed by 100 zeros. The term was coined by Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, and was popularized in the book, "Mathematics and the Imagination" by Kasner and James Newman. Google's play on the term reflects the company's mission to organize the immense amount of information available on the web.


I hope this has any use for you.. ^^

Googol is a number which is 1 followed be 100 zeros.
QUOTE

A googol is the large number 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,0
00,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, that is, the digit 1 followed by one hundred zeros. One way of grasping its size is that it is equivalent to multiplying 1 million by 1 million 16 times, then further multiplying that by ten thousand. The term was coined in 1938 by nine-year-old Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner. Kasner popularized the concept in his book Mathematics and the Imagination.

Using the short scale, a googol is equal to ten duotrigintillion. Using the long scale, it is equal to ten thousand sexdecillion (or sedecillion), or ten sexdecilliard/sedecilliard.

A googolplex is a number that is 1 followed by a googol of zeroes.

Google is a number. i.e. one followed by a hundred zeroes like all have said it right here.

But it isnt greater than infinity. Read on!

This tells you that Googolplex is a really big number.

But just add one more zero to it. You will get a number 10 times greater than the previous number!
This means that "Infinity" is undefined. You cant tell what is infinity.

Infinity isn't a number, and thus a number can't be "bigger" than a concept.
Infinity is just the state of going on for ever...

Ture. The largest number doesn't exist. If you can think of one, just add 1. So, infinity although a state of forever, signifies or denotes the largest or smallest numbers. Math though a universal language, is somethign that has been around since time was time, before humans or language. I have often thought that math or numbers, the only conastant thing in the universe, is somehow related to God. Seeing how he has been around the same amount of "time".

google s a number like what one of the people said but no matter how many zeros after a number nothing is bigger than infinty.

infinty is a concept that was made just to say that it represents a number that never comes to an end so effectively no matter how big it goes it just keeps going !!!

Everyone is incorrect about the Google. Google is the name of a company while a googol is the large number that you are talking about. A little bit of reasearch leads me to a bit more googol number related info:

As pointed out, a Google/googol is a very large number, 1 followed by one hundred zeros. A googolplex however is even larger, it is a 1 followed by a Google of zeros. This number is so unfathomably large that it is greater than the known number of particles in the universe. Even if all of the matter in the universe was changed into paper or disk drives, it would still not be possible to write down a googolplex in its full form! It is not surprising that Google's headquarters is named the "GooglePlex"!

Nothing of course can be larger than infinity.
Here's a few facts about infinity (I couldn't find very much):
*The sign for infinity is a 8 on its side.
*There are three types of infinity; math infinity, phisics infinity and philosophical infinity.
*It is impossible for something to be phisically infinate, at least according to current scientific belief.

Google is scientifically not a number unless you want to make it up the highest actual number is 999 999 999 999 999 or in words nine hundred ninety-nine trillion nine hundred ninety-nine billion nine hundred ninety-nine million nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine. That is the highest actual number ever recorded in history after that you just have fun making different numbers. If anyone disagrees I will tell them the same thing I have just told you in this. Ihave tried to tell other people but they say it is a number, google isn't a number it is a website, google is a made up number never recorded but just made up from a mathematician. But that is only my beliefs.But if google was a number it wouldnt really be useful in many things.

Yes, young friend,
"A google" was a hypothetical number invented by a genious, young mathematician, it was a one (1) followed by one hundred (100) zeros (0's):

10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,0

A googol can be written in conventional notation as follows:
1 googol
= 10100
= 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,0

Google A Number?

Replying to LeeSUHH

My mistake! It's merely a homonym: "googol"

LESS AMBIGUOUSLY >>

Googol - a one followed by 100 zeros: 10 ^ 100 (ten TO THE POWER OF 100)

Google - originally a search engine, now a company bent on world domination:

(I.E. - googleMaps -> GoogleEarth -> GoogleStreetLevelViewCamaras will eventually turn to GoogleSurvellience, which will begin a counterCulture seeking refuge from the "Google-Big Brother"...Which will in turn create some type of enforcement to keep people from running from the surveillience, perhaps "GoogleEnforcement" ;) )
