Neil deGrasse Tyson Explains Big Numbers

Ғылым және технология

1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. That’s the estimated number of stars in the universe. That’s a pretty big number. But, how did we get here? And, can we go bigger? You bet we can go bigger. In this video, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice are here to help you understand how big some numbers truly are.
We have to start small. Neil takes us from a simple million to a billion and then way beyond anything you’re imagining. You’ll learn how many stars are in our galaxy. And, how many galaxies are in our universe. What does the number really mean in the scale of everything?
How long would it take you to count to a billion? How long would it take you to count to a trillion? Then, we cross the point where numbers get so big that you have to start using words to describe them. Discover more about a mole, a googol, a googolplex, and Skewes’ number. After this video, you’ll look at numbers a whole different way!

    Thanks. That was very revealing. I’ve played around with big numbers and infinite Math in my head. I wonder about the Skews number though. If it means all the combinations of all components of matter being interchangeable, what does that mean in practice? Does it mean We can eventually re-design the entire Universe? And how far are we off achieving that situation? Maybe, in the New Age and New Order, We will be able to generate that condition fairly rapidly? It’s a wonder concept hopefully it should be stable and safe?

    That last number basically accounts for numerous possible particles combinations for countless universes in the multiverse. But there should theoretically be an even bigger number if adding that to the number of possible universes with differing physics and their possible permutations which could equal our own universes, making that number even more astronomical and an even larger exponential jump than the others before. It's the number particles in all possible versions of every multiverse. Or the number particles in every possible version of the meta-verse. The Metaplex! Now just add the number of particles each one of those multiverses in the meta-verse could simulate and we're really talking. I guess we'll call it the simuplex. Plus you can always just add one more. 😵
