| Oct 29, 2017 at 3:25 | comment | added | Sir Cumference | Well, technically it's not close at all to the heat death. It'd only be a googol-th of a googol-th of a googol-th of a googol-th... and so on, of the wait. The heat death, as you gave above, is $10^{\text{100 nines, followed by 20 zeroes}}$ times larger than a googolplex. This is because $\frac{10^{10^a}}{10^{10^b}}$ gives an exponent with $a-b$ nines, followed by $b$ zeroes (e.g. $\frac{10^{10^7}}{10^{10^3}} = 10^{9999000}$). At least, that's the observation I've made using a calculator. | |
