Writing large or very small numbers in scientific notation helps prevent simple mistakes.

For example, in physics or chemistry, the number of basic particles in one mole of a substance is Avogadro's number, which is 602214129000000000000000 or 6.02214129*1023 in scientific notation. In the expanded form it would be quite easy to miscount the number of zeros.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
