Yes, for instance

Yes. I will give two different explanations:

1) Consider the number googolplex + 1. It is bigger than googolplex since any number plus 1 is greater than the number itself. Using this same logic we can show that there is no such thing as the largest number. To spell it out, the argument goes like this: suppose someone claims a certain number x is the largest number, than the number x + 1 is a larger number than the original largest number, but this is impossible. Therefore the original claim (that x is the largest number) is false.

2) This is probably the answer that you are looking for:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_number
The Graham number is named after the mathematician Ronald Graham. This number is listed in the Guiness Book of Records as the largest number ever used in a scientific paper. It is a lot bigger than googolplex. In fact, it is so big that special notations (see link) were invented to represent it. Otherwise, even if all the matter in the known universe were converted to ink, we still wouldn't have enough to write it out (let alone having enough paper to write on....)

A googolplex is a 1 followed by a googol zeros. A googol is a one followed by a hundred zeros.

There is no official name given to any number greater than a googolplex.

And yes, a googleplex is larger than a million, a billion, a trillion, and a quadrillion.

i'm questioning that Graham's quantity is larger. I in easy terms say that because of the fact the object in Wikipedia states that expressing Graham's quantity making use of power towers is ineffective. even nonetheless, i will show googolplex to the googolplex power relatively relatively: googolplex = 10^(10^a hundred) (10^(10^a hundred))^(10^(10^a hundred))

There always is a larger number than any given number. However, googolplex may be the largest NAMED number.

this is no such thing as a highest number. you can get impractically large numbers (googolplex for example, which is 10 to the power of 10 to the power of 100.), but you can always create a bigger number. Why bother, as there is no need at this time for it. When we do need it, I would call it:gobstoppinghumugous!

Yes numbers extend without limit. That's what we mean by infinity.

A googol is 1 followed by 100 zeros or 10^100
A googolplex is 1 followed by googol zeros or 10^(google)

An amusing point about Graham's number is that it is the known upper bound to a theoretical problem for which the true upper bound may only be 11. As Graham himself said, "There is room for improvement here." :)

Well, technically that number (I won't try to spell its name) is a 1 followed by 100 zeros, so any number added or multiplied by it could be infinitely higher.

In short, yes.

Real numbers extend without bound. For any number you can think of, there is at least one greater.
