Re: The biggest number?
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.

Re: The biggest number?
Sorry,the LaTeX didn't show,so I didn't see your response earlier. It is quite a large number comparing to 1. It is I think around (((3!)!)!)! times greater than 1.
The limit operator is just an excuse for doing something you know you can't.

Re: The biggest number?
The biggest number is outside of our awareness. I would say it's the "awareness barrier" itself, or at least in the middle of it (if it could be measured).

Re: The biggest number?
Hi circlemaker
The point of this thread is not finding the biggest numbere there is, which you may know, doesn't exist.

Have you heard of transfinite numbers or mathematics?

Re: The biggest number?
Of course. But we cannot calculate those numbers in a billion of year let alone half a year or a year.

Re: The biggest number?
I do not want to spoil your thread with cross talk but they can be computed. See the lecture by Doron Zeilberger. There is a largest number!

Correct! I will moderate to keep it on track from here.

Wow! 
That's a BIG one! 
Could LaTex himself even post as BIG a one?
Writing "pretty" math (two dimensional) is easier to read and grasp than LaTex (one dimensional).
LaTex is like painting on many strips of paper and then stacking them to see what picture they make.

Re: The biggest number?
Hi!
Of course 1 is a number. Aren't most people looking out for #1? That's the most mathematics
that many people want to get involved with. But then again maybe they just haven't found it yet
so they don't think it exists!

There are bigger numbers than that in here.

Re: The biggest number?
(3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)^(3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
where 3!! means (3!)!, 3!!! means ((3!)!)! etc.
Note that (2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)^(2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) = 4 so
there is a bit of a leap from using 2 to using 3 in these expressions.

That is not large enough.
And what is that Gramham number?
