My lover have book by George Gamow (who develop Big Bang Theory)say 2 foremost mathematicians of Hungary decide who is best, see who name biggest number. One think while, then say "3!", other think longer, say "You win!" Not much mathematician! Hottentots really count only 3. I just answer about name of big number thousand to centillion , googol and googolplex. You can name number much bigger than these?

googolplex is a 1 with 99 zero's. i know some say it is 100 zeros, but it you write it out, it doesn't come out right.

and if you are going to use an equation, why a googolplex plus 1, why not times itself.

George Gamow wrote a great book for the non physicist I believe it is called "One Two Three Infinity" I read it as a teen in High School. It is a great introduction into physics and an easy read.
The whole Idea of infinity is there is always one more number.

the Googolplex is the largest number with an established name. ("Googolplex plus one" is an equation, not a name...)
