In Adam Spencer’s last episode he discusses big numbers (really big numbers), but he saved us the best for last. The daunting Graham’s Number.

Essentially, this guy Ronald Graham went into deep space in an attempt to dissect the properties of 3D and 4D cubes. Cubes in higher dimensions. In higher, higher dimensions. It’s a bit heavy to think about, but that’s where Graham’s Number comes in.

We learned about googols, and googolplexes feature as last time’s numeric behemoths. Here, Spencer takes us through the grandest of numbers: a sum so immense that it won’t fit the observable universe if we record it.

Interested?
Spencer helps us understand how it works. Join the conversation and strap in, it’s going to get mind-boggling.
