I sell things on eBay. Whenever people buy from the United States, their house number always seems to be something like 3975, Valley Road. I know it's a big country, but surely the roads can't be so long they have thousands of houses? And why does nobody ever live at the lower numbers, like number 4? or number 26?

Word for large numbers?

This is a LARGE subject, but in brief. Infinity is a number beyond counting. A Googol is a large number, 10100 and a Googolplex is 10Googol . Both numbers are probably larger than the number of electrons in the universe, so are of philosophic interest only. There are various orders of infinity.

For example, a map of your neighborhood, or a map of you area. (You can see you house on this map) A small scale map is a map where your house would look small on it (or you can't see it at all), like a map of the world, or a map of Europe.
