Examples

“Thereupon, we shall label the number designated by a one followed by googolplexplex zeros as "googolplexplexplex," and then the number designated by a one followed by googolplexplexplex zeros as "googolplexplexplexplex," and so on, until we've added googolplex "plexes" to our original "googol," a number that (for lack of anything else coming to mind) we'll name after this author, hence: ["]Nolandplex."”

“But the math is very nice and simple when you accept my claim! On the other hand, if I accept your claim it becomes quite horrific. Let's take the value g to represent the probability that the number will be between 1/googolplexplex and googolplexplex. What is the chance that it will be between googolplexplex and googolplexplexplex (a much larger range)? Greater or lesser than g? How soon before your totals add up to more than 1?”

“One, two, three... four, five, six... seven, eight, nine... […] For most people, I suppose the biggest number they’ll likely meet will be somewhere in the billions or maybe the trillions, which might be something like the budget deficit or military spending or something like that. Mathematicians tend to use bigger numbers than that. Googolplexplexplex three, googolplexplexplex four... You made me do this! Googolplexplexplex five, googolplexplexplex six... When I get to 199, then that would be too hard, I would have to stop.”

“If omega were a reallyreallyreallybig but finite number, such as googolplexplexplex, the sequence would end before googolplexplexplex, it would have an immediate predecessor, you could step to it, though only in principle. All the properties you have insisted that omega must have, on pain of being found inconsistent. But that's not what omega is.”
