This part bent my brain a little

Thanks @WWGD and @jbriggs444. I needed to read some back story on sets and things.

There was an issue with your questions most likely. You can always DM the mentor in question and they will get back to you and explain the issue.

Can you not have a set of all sets? I wrote the above then a distant bell rang, also why would a Mathematics poster say there isn't a largest set? Checked Google and saw B Russell, you can't. I will read why later as I have to dash, I do remember the liars paradox though.

Not very creative or gentlemanly though, imagine if two professor's played that game? What sort of rules they would have if they tried to beat each other by coming up with the biggest number? That is what happened apparently at M.I.T. in 2007. The big number duel...

It's why you're a multiverse.

Yes but you can start building the trees and playing the game. With Graham's number how do you start connecting the lines past three dimensions? You can start to build the number itself using the arrows but how does that relate to vertices?

Some mathematics were in that category but became useful in physics. Hilbert spaces, Riemann geometry, Noether's work on symmetry. TREE 3 might get us to Andromeda one day ;)

Tongue in cheek. ;) I agree with you, it is a physics site, although I like appreciation of my photography efforts! A little bit of Art, a little bit of tech. Same with music. Likes does not necessarily lead to points, which is an indicator of science post quality. Post numbers in the lounge...

Some mathematics is useful outside of mathematics, Engineering, Economics, physics for eg some has no practical use besides making mathematicians very excited!

It is bigger than TREE (3)!

There is a simpler sequence but along the same lines as the above. The rules seem a little specific and weird but they are easier to follow than TREE (3) you can do it yourself (to a point) and they produce some counterintuitive results. Very large numbers reached quickly like TREE (3) but what...

Here is the comparison of TREE (3) and Grahams number with some more info on Knuth notation, the enthusiasm of this guy is infectious.

The concept or Grahams number the question is, how many dimensions do I need before I have to make a square of one colour in a plane? For TREE (3) the question is, how many trees can I make from three different coloured seeds, before the forest has to die? based on the rules he sets out at the...

Please don't take that away from me!
