[NetBehaviour] A very big number

[James Morris]

The magnitude of this first term, g1, is so large that it is practically incomprehensible, even though the above display is relatively easy to comprehend. Even n, the mere number of towersin this formula for g1, is far greater than the number of Planck volumes (roughly 10185 of them) into which one can imagine subdividing the observable universe. And after this first term, still another 63 terms remain in the rapidly growing g sequence before Graham's number G= g64 is reached. To illustrate just how fast this sequence grows, while g1 is equal to with only four up arrows, the number of up arrows in g2 is this incomprehensibly large number g1.
