1 GOOGOL years from now...

Infinity is not a number

My calculus professor used to hate that things were compared to infinity. He would always make us say "as the limit gets larger without bounds" instead.

I hope they come up with a new way of me being able to show people what I ate for dinner, or the sick sunset I’m looking at.

this is some trippy stuff

indeed!

That was fascinating to read, thanks for sharing.

Infinity is not a number

The point being is that their is no largest number that exists regardless whether infinity is a number or not.

 

[rj144]

Not all infinities are the same size.

Any is larger than 10^100.

 

[JbModest]

Not all infinities are the same size.

Infinity doesn't have a size. It's a limit.

Fair enough

This is Georg Cantor.

One of the most famous mathematicians of the modern era, hell, of any era. He gave us set theory and spent most of his life trying to prove that one infinity can in fact be larger than another. His work has become a fundamental theory in mathematics. The easiest way I can explain it is that if you took all the whole numbers, 1, 2, 3, 4..., that would most assuredly have less numbers than if you took a set that included all the numbers in between the whole numbers, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, etc.

Cantor established the importance of one-to-one correspondence between the members of two sets, defined infinite and well-ordered sets, and proved that the real numbers are more numerous than the natural numbers. In fact, Cantor's method of proof of this theorem implies the existence of an "infinity of infinities". He defined the cardinal and ordinal numbers and their arithmetic. Cantor's work is of great philosophical interest, a fact of which he was well aware.

Let's see our sun and solar system is going to die in a few billion years. Actually in 4 billion years our galaxy will merge with Andromeda. So everything we know will be gone. 1 gogoplex is a long long time. Trillions of galaxies would've come and gone. The universe will be a very different place.

Our universe is fairly young, only 13 billion years old. It is really hard to fathom. It's either going to be like futurama in year 3000 or like the future of Futurama in which the universe resets itself.

1 GOOGOL and 1. New highest number in existence.

1 GOOGAL and teh 275.
1 GOOGAL and tree fiddy.

If you watch the video, you'll know that in 1 GOOGOL years from now, absolutely nothing will exist in the universe. No more planets, stars, galaxies... nothing. Just one big black nothing.

Yeah but what about 1 GOOGOL plus 1?

 

[MadSquabbles500]

What will happen to the universe 1 GOOGOL years from now? 1 GOOGOL is the highest number that currently exists. Very interedasting...

It will implode, but there will this one dude who will attempt to travel to the center of the implosion, only to be saved by the sentience of this universe. He will be placed in a coccoon, and reborn in the next reincarnation of the universe. He will be giant in size, and get this awesome looking ship. His job will be going from planet to planet sucking out the lifeforce of each planet. When the time comes, he will use all the energy he gain from lifeforces, and destroy the universe beginning the cycle again. He will get a cool helmet, and get a cool name like Galactus or something.

 

[WorldofWarcraft]

Yeah but what about 1 GOOGOL plus 1?

There will be nothing for all eternity after 1 GOOGOL years.

Can you just imagine what type of pornographic material they'll have by then? I bet there'll be literally THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of high quality pornographic websites... with TENS of THOUSANDS of HD videos... maybe even in 3D!

That is what you come out with when making this thread.

 

[Ares Black]

There will be nothing for all eternity after 1 GOOGOL years.

But what about GOOGOL plus 2?

That would only apply if the expansion of the universe is infinite. Its also known as the "Big Freeze" but other theories exist such as the universe reaching a certain point and then snapping back on itself like a rubber band, condensing itself down to singular point like the conditions that existed just before the Big Bang. Then, presumably, another Big Bang would happen and the universe would start again, in an infinite cycle.
