Perhaps it means the number of years that Google has been in existence, which would be 8 years if you count since incorporation, or 9 if you count from the registration of the website.

If, however, you actually meant a googol years, rather than "Google," then that's ten raised to the hundredth power, or 1 followed by 100 zeroes. Or, more explicitly: 10,000,000,000, 000,000,000, 000,000,000, 000,000,000, 000,000,000, 000,000,000, 000,000,000, 000,000,000, 000,000,000, 000,000,000, 000,000,000 years. The Universe is only about 13.7 billion years old, and this number dwarfs that. In fact, this number is greater than the total number of elementary particles in the visible Universe. In the context of years, it is completely out of scale with any time that has ever needed to be measured.

1 googol = 1 followed by a hundred zeros and represented as 10^100

1 googolplex (an even bigger number) is 1 followed by a googol of zeros. i.e. 10^ (10^100)

The universe is only 13.7 x 10^9 years old however so you won't find anything that is a googol of years old or a googol of light years away.

10^100 years. You know 10^9 is billion and 10^6 is a million. So think of the span. Huuuuuuuuge.
