Googolplexianite - a very big number

http://googolplexianite.angelfire.com
Googol = 1 followed by 100 Zeroes
Googolplex = 1 followed by a Googol of Zeroes
Googolplexian = 1 followed by a Googolplex of Zeroes
(SEE: www.googolplexian.com )
Googolplexianite = 1 followed by a Googolplexian of Zeroes
The Googolplexianite was theorized
In 2009. It is the worlds largest
New number, built on the work
Of those who have gone before.

If large numbers is what you want, ask your friendly neighborhood
logician. See e.g. Smorynski's article /Some Rapidly Growing Functions/
in _Harvey Friedman's Research on Foundations of Mathematics_ which
begins as follows:
The purpose of this paper is pure iconoclasm. I wish to debunk a few
mathematical myths about how large "large" is. When the mathematician
says "large", the logician is sure to think "small".

Your number can be written 10^10^10^10^100, and your subsequent
numbers prepend a "10^" to the notation. Much larger numbers have
been described for a long time and more modern notations can describe
mindbogglingly larger numbers still, e.g. Conway's chained arrows.
Graham's number (1971) is so large that, if you had to choose a new
name for each step in your list, you would exhaust the set of names
that could fit in the observable universe long before reaching it.
That number was not just described in passing, but used centrally in a
mathematical proof.
Despite being so huge, 3->3->3->3 (in Conway's notation) is a
ridiculous amount larger still.

Yes, yes, perhaps. But the idea of a number being "theorized" is
rather intriguing, don't you think?
