I assume you mean googolplex (sounds similar).

Googolplex is real, its definition is based on Googol (which inspired the name Google, seriously).

A googol is 10^100.

A googolplex is 10^googol.

To try and imagine the size of this number, consider that

the number of atoms in the universe is about 10^80 (this is not yet a googol).

In other words, a googol is more than the number of atoms in the universe.

a googolplex is a number so big that you can not write it, because it has a googol+1 digits (all zero, except the leading 1). So, to write it you would need at least 1 atom to write a digit, but there aren't enough atoms in the universe to write it. Heavy!

Of course, there are bigger numbers than this!

Consider numbers with a name and define plex as the number 10^, you will see that this grows very VERY rapidly.

Consider googolplexplex, googolplexplexplex, etc.

Consider googol(plex . . . . . . plex)

etc.

All these numbers are incredibly big natural numbers, but FINITE. They are all real.
