foxbird22 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Psh noob, answer is five. The sq root of 625 is 25, and the sq root of that is 5! I learnt that in alg stats. lol AND I REMEMBERED!? WTF? That's the THIRD root, not the FOURTH root. So guess what, you're wrong, or I've totally lost it, though I don't think so, even though it's still entirely possible. (I dare anyone to set up a symbolization for that. Has anyone taken Modern Logic?) I believe the answer is 2.23607, FEV. And yes, I used a calculator to estimate the square root of five. Square root of 625 is 25, third root of 625 is 5, therefore the fourth root estimates to answer above. I could probably solve your poem, FEV, though I'm far too lazy right now to take the time and figure it out. I'm sure you can solve it as well. Heh, well in Chemistry class, we got to mess with a couple of the Alkali metals. Whoo, fun stuff. At least you get to PLAY with it, while I have to sit in class and get LECTURED about it all without getting to do anything. Stupid college chemistry. Maybe this year's labs will be better.

Four-eyed Vulpine Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Hmm... 52 = 25, Square root of 25 = 5. 53 = 125, Cubed root of 125 = 5. 54 = 625, Fourth root of 625 = 5. I think Puff is right on his method. The square root of the square root of a number is the same as the fourth root. It's like (52)2 = 54 = 625. Anyway....*grabs an oversized mask* BOOGABOOGABOOGA!!!!! Courage: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

PuffNStuff Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Then.... I read about the Googolplex.... The largest number known to man, where if you wrote it in decimal form on paper in size 1 font.... That paper would need to be bigger than.... THE KNOWN UNIVERSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY F-IN GAWD!!!!

Four-eyed Vulpine Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 *does some calculations* At font size 1, you can cram 527,268 digits on a sheet of paper measuring 58.5 in2. A sheet of 8.5 x 11 in. paper has a mass of around 9.9 x 10-3 lb., so the weight of the paper used is 6.2 x 10-3 lb. To compare, lets use something more finite than the known universe--say the mass of the Earth, for instance. The Earth's mass is approximately 1.3 x 1025 lb. Weight of Earth / weight of paper = 2.1 x 1027 pieces of 6.5 x 9 in. paper (the size of the paper used for the digits). Pieces of paper / 527,268 digits per piece = 1.1 x 1033 digits, or around 1033 digits. The number of digits on standard paper whose mass would equal that of this planet. Now for the big picture. One googolplex contains 10100 + 1 digits. The one digit added (the 1) is negligible to the calculations, so we'll leave it out and say that a googolplex has 10100 digits. 1033 / 10100 = 10-67--the fraction the planet Earth contains of the total mass of paper required for one googolplex. So you need 1067 Earths to equal the googolplex mass. 1067 x 1.3 x 1025 = 1.3 x 1092 lb. = the mass of the googolplex paper. Now for the volume. The density of letter paper is 0.031 lb / in3. 1.3 x 1092 x 0.031 = 4.0 x 1090 cubic inches of paper required to print a googolplex. Unit conversion. 4.0 x 1090 in3 = 2.3 x 1087 ft3 = 1.6 x 1076 mi3. And, since we're in space, we need to measure in light years--the distance light travels in one year. The speed of light is about 186,282 miles per second. 186,282 miles per second x 60 s x 60 m x 24 h x 365.25 d = 5,878,612,843,200 miles in a light year. For a cubic light year, we simply cube this distance for a total of 2.0 x 1038 mi3. And for the final conversion. (1.6 x 1076 mi3) (volume of googolplex mass) / (2.0 x 1038 mi3) (volume of one cubic light year) = 8.0 x 1037 ly3 (light years cubed). The dimensions of this incomprehensible mass equal the cubed root of this volume, so each side of the cube measures 4.3 TRILLION light years. Being the most distant thing in the known universe is about 13-14 billion light years away, this cube of paper required to type a googolplex out completely at font size 1 would very easily dwarf the known universe. But how many known universes of paper would we need? Estimating that the most distant object is 13 billion light years away and assuming that Earth is at the center, the dimensions of the known universe form a cube with sides of 26 billion light years each. This cube has a volume of 1.8 x 1031 ly3. So, (8.0 x 1037) (googolplex paper) / (1.8 x 1031) (known universe volume) = 4,444,444 known universes of paper to type out a googolplex at font size 1.

foxbird22 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Oh my God... That's the single most hardcore math calculation I've ever seen! I can't believe you actually did that, FEV. You rock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four-eyed Vulpine Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Heh, thank you! Just for clarification, the number of known universes required include not only all the matter, but the COMPLETE space--matter and void combined. And yes, I actually went to MS Word and typed out the number at font 1 to as many digits as I could on one sheet with 1-inch margins, using cutting and pasting, if you're wondering. Since the word count doesn't count numbers, I multiplied the number of columns by the number of lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuffNStuff Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Puff is correct! (This took a couple of hours to calculate and type.) Comon, would I ever lie to you? Great job proving it though FEV. Thumbs up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four-eyed Vulpine Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Now, in the future, if the known universe grows to 4,444,445 times the known amount today, you'll be wrong, Edit: How much digital space would a googolplex require? One page of the number with one-inch margins and font size 1 = 579 KB. We have the number of pieces to form the Earth's mass: 2.1 x 1027 pieces. 2.1 x 1027 x 579 KB = 1.2 x 1030 KB. Conversion. 1.2 x 1030 kilobytes = 1.2 x 1027 megabytes = 1.2 x 1024 gigabytes = 1.2 x 1021 terabytes = 1.2 x 1018 petabytes = 1.2 x 1015 exabytes = 1.2 x 1012 zettabytes = 1.2 x 109 yottabytes. This amount of digital space equals the Earth's mass in paper. Since the Earth is 1 / 1067 the mass of the googolplex paper, 1.2 x 109 x 1067 = 1.2 x 1076 yottabytes required to type out one googolplex in font size 1. Conversion table: 1.2 x 1076 yottabytes 1.2 x 1079 zettabytes 1.2 x 1082 exabytes 1.2 x 1085 petabytes 1.2 x 1088 terabytes 1.2 x 1091 gigabytes 1.2 x 1094 megabytes 1.2 x 1097 kilobytes 1.2 x 10100 bytes. So each digit in a googolplex equals roughly one byte. Edit 2: Then.... I read about the Googolplex.... The largest number known to man... The largest, huh? 10^(10^100) + 1 is bigger. Actually, it gets worse. Googol = 10^100. Googolplex = 10^googol, or 10^(10^100). Googolduplex = 10^googolplex, or 10^(10^(10^100)). Googoltriplex = 10^googolduplex, or 10^(10^(10^(10^100))). Googolquadruplex = 10^googoltriplex, or 10^(10^(10^(10^(10^100)))). Googolquintuplex = 10^googolquadruplex, or 10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^100))))). Googolsextuplex = 10^googolquinuplex, or 10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^100)))))). Googolseptuplex = 10^googolsextuplex, or 10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^100))))))). Googoloctoplex = 10^googolseptuplex, or 10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^100)))))))). Googolnonoplex = 10^googoloctoplex, or 10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^100))))))))). Googoldecaplex = 10^googolnonoplex, or 10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^100)))))))))). You can continue on and on forever by simply adding prefixes to the "plex". For instance, Googolcentiplex. 10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^ (10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^ (10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^ (10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^ (10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^ (10^100)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))).
