Great question. You're right. "Googolplex" is not the biggest number.

-- "Googol" = 10100

-- "Googolplex" = 10googol

-- "Googolplexian" = 10googolplex

-- "Googolnormous" = 10googolplexian (not really; I made that one up just now)

-- "Graham numbers" . . . We don't know anything about them, but they're bigger.

-- "Infinity" . . . technically, not a number; defined as "more than the largest number".

But . . . the catch is: There is no such thing as "largest number". Whatever number

you want to describe, no matter how big it is, all I have to do is add ' 1 ' to yours,

and I have a number that's bigger than your number.
