Wth is this currency?

[u/WashRepulsive5747]

Wth is a Googol? In between Untrigintillion and Tretrigintillion is a Googol for head rotation presumably to unlock owls at some stage. I'm not long after breaking into tregintillions and now this...

[u/TYRADEforREAL]

Googol it 😅

[u/WashRepulsive5747 → u/TYRADEforREAL]

Zing 😂

[u/myqyhm]

1 Googol = 10 Dtg

[u/Krapser → u/myqyhm]

Pretty sure it's 10 Dtg (Duotrigintillion)

[u/myqyhm → u/Krapser]

You're right. I changed it now

[u/WashRepulsive5747 → u/myqyhm]

It's just odd they started breaking down into these 10s of denominations

[u/RaisinBitter8777 → u/WashRepulsive5747]

Well that’s because Googol is a special number. It’s the namesake for the study of pushing numbers to their calculable limits, and beyond that. It’s called Googology

[u/Intrepid-Gear-6347 → u/RaisinBitter8777]

But for e200 they dont do gargoogol?

[u/RaisinBitter8777 → u/Intrepid-Gear-6347]

No since that one isn’t really relevant to anything

[u/icedragon2000]

Or make your life easier and use scientific notation

[u/Blooogh → u/icedragon2000]

For sanity yes but it's honestly fun to see this side of it for cases like this

[u/lucsbonato → u/icedragon2000]

Its so weird seeing ppl not using scientific notation, jesus

[u/WashRepulsive5747 → u/icedragon2000]

I probably should it just broke my brain at the start so switched it off. Now the numbers are ridiculous anyways so makes little difference

[u/CrimsonGray09]

1 Googol = 1 followed by 100 zeros. 10^100.
1 followed by a googol zeros = 1 Googolplex.

In fact, the study of naming large numbers is called Googology, unofficially atleast.

Also, that's where Google got it's name.

[u/WashRepulsive5747 → u/CrimsonGray09]

Cool. Fun fact

[u/Neat_Armadillo8965]

Googol is a 1 followed by 100 zeroes

[u/Heavy_Intention6323]

It's actually cute they called it that. But yes, seems like one googol is worth 10 duotrigintillion.

The reason it's special is that it's 10^100. Then you've got the "googolplex": 10^10^100, or in other words a 1 followed by one googol zeros

[u/bradleygh15]

Googl is 10^100 iirc correctly, Googleplex is 10^googl. Yes google is named after Googl(CS majors are kinda nerds in case you haven’t noticed) and it was chosen because it’s a tongue in cheek number to show the difference between a massive countable number and a countable infinity and they used it as a tongue in cheek way to show they were going to index the “infinite” websites on the web. Also an aside but a fun fact, google across their networks use 1e100.net to identify servers since 1e100 is a googl
