There are no "unknown" counting numbers, as counting numbers are infinite. There's always some way of writing any number we want. A thousand times quadrillion gives us quintillion, followed by sextillion, and so on using the Latin prefixes. But at some point it becomes impractical to use grammar to define a value, so then we just use exponential notation, writing things in powers of 10. So one thousand = 10^3, one million = 10^6, etc. We might have a word for "octillion", but in reality, you're not going to use it that much.

What is the highest counting number that we've assigned a name to? That would be the googolplex, which is the number represented by "1" followed by 10^100 zeroes. You wouldn't have enough room on the surface of the earth to write it out.

just a little nitpick. i beleive the counting numbers start with 1, not 0. your set is called the whole numbers.
