why not your number plus 1?

I don't really want to go into my workings out, incase somebody copies my theory, sorry.

 

But this is the highest number

How then do you hope to gain credability?

That's pretty big. At a glance, it certainly looks bigger than anything I've come across as a professional mathematician, but without knowing how you arrived at the number I can't be certain that it's the biggest. You'll probably have to publish your methods. If you're correct, it could be a pretty important finding.

Well I have actually used considerably larger numbers than that. Although I did try phoning it and only got the BT ansaphone service.

Larger number then 7,987,987,778,981,078,910,148?

NO CHANCE

Thanks, I think it could be pretty big aswell. When I was working out the findings, I could feel some sort of energy around me.

 

I knew it was gonna be a more significant project then usual.

what about the avagadro constant?

 

biggest number? aye right.

I don't know what the avocado constant is, sorry.

 

can you scientifically demonstrate a bigger number? I don't think so

I meant the avagrado. autocorrect in action ther!

 

Have you ever heard of the Ackermann function? The numbers produced by this function can easily become larger than your 22 digit number. Also, a googolplex [math]10^{10^{100}}[/math] is by far larger than your number and only uses a one and a whole bunch of zeroes. We even know about prime numbers larger than your number:

Why would they copy your theory? What benefit does knowing this number bring?

 

 

But this is the highest number

The highest number for what? Anything? We actually have more atoms in our body than that.

 

Isn't 7,987,987,778,981,078,910,149 a little higher than 7,987,987,778,981,078,910,148?

 

Wouldn't your theory be falsified if there was even one number higher than yours?

 

 

 

 

 

You mentioned that your number had no numbers 1-6, yet there are 1s and a 4, which you read as "ten" and "fourteen". What's the significance of that?

ten and fourteen are clearly higher then numbers 1-6?

12978189 is a smaller number then 7,987,987,778,981,078,910,148

 

That's just the count of the digits making up the number and not the number itself. Your number only has 22 digits.

But all these numbers you've provided are not proper numbers. Plus I did all the calculations and none of these numbers were the answer

the avagadro constant is the number of atoms in 12 grams of Carbon-12

Not a proper number? You just made 7,212,610,147,295,474,909,544,523,785,043,492,409,969,382,148,186,765,460,082,500,085,393,519,556,525,921,455,588,705,423,020,751,421 cry :'( The answer to what? The meaning of life?

The answer to "what is the biggest number of all time"??? I thought this was clear?

Well, if the numbers I have listed are bigger than your number, then clearly your number is NOT the biggest number of all time. Oh... prime numbers are probably more proper than yours.

They love to prove that these large numbers are primes.

Edited February 1, 201214 yr by Daedalus

try your number minus any of the numbers we've posted. if the answer is less than zero then your number is not the biggest number.
