a googol YB is 10^124 bytes
im wanting to know how much that is in Terrabytes. anyone know?

oops error, 10124 is a googol of yottabytes not a googleplex. oopsD H said:One googol is 10100. A googolplex is 101 googol. You could not write such a number down. It is not 10124.
rock4christ said:oh yeah... well how about the bob. its grahamgoogleplex for B1
B2 is graham^(graham^googleplex) and so on.
it ends at B googleplex^graham
How abou pi without a decimal point. I know it's pointless to engage in a "my number is bigger than yours" thing but i find it hard to resist.
mezarashi said:So did Google get its name from this "googol" or is it the other way around. Now I see why they named their main campus at Mountain View the GooglePlex. =D

A googolplex YB is a unit of measurement for digital storage, equal to 10^124 bytes. This quantity is unimaginably large and is rarely used in practical applications.
A googolplex YB is significantly larger than other commonly used units, such as gigabytes, terabytes, and even yottabytes. In fact, it is estimated that the entire internet contains about 1 googolplex YB of data.
The term "googolplex" was coined by mathematician Edward Kasner in 1938 as a way to describe an incredibly large number. A googolplex is equal to 10^googol, which is a 1 followed by 100 zeros.
No, there are even larger units of digital storage, such as googolbytes (10^100 bytes) and googolplexbytes (10^googolplex bytes). However, these units are purely theoretical and have no practical use.
No, it is estimated that the observable universe contains about 10^80 atoms, which is significantly less than a googolplex YB. Even if every atom in the universe were used to store data, it would still not be enough to reach a googolplex YB.
