10^10,000 is now called a "trademark"

A whole 7 minutes video based on a number?
I can just create a bigger number in 3 seconds and I am not a scientist. Hey look 10^10000

it just gives u an idea how big googolplex is

stop being such a hater

You're not mistaken, it is bigger than 10^10000. A googolplex is 10^(10^100) which means ten to the power of a googol (1 followed by 100 0's.)

10^(10^100) = 10^1,000, doesn't it?

no, here is a simpler example

2^(2^3) = 2^8 = 256 (correct)

but if you try it this way:
2^(2^3) = 2^6 = 64 (incorrect)

No, 10^100 = 1 googol.

So it's 10^googol.

right, I'm thinking of (10^10)^100.... I think.

heh that does not work either. I once "solved" an unsolvable integral because I made this mistake (I mean I made the mistake of thinking they were equal):

the left side can not be solved, the right side can be
