JH's Number

Using Graham's Number and Knuth's Arrow Notation I have created a number so unimaginably large it has no use. It is called JH's Number. If you want to use it in your calculations then the symbol for it is 'J'. Here is JH's number represented in terms of Graham's Number.

Re: JH's Number

It's easy to create a number like that though. Just do googolplexianth to the googolplexianth to the googolplexianth to the googolplexianth power etc. somewhere near googolplexian times. Boom. Unimaginably large number that never will be used.

The symbol is I. :3

EDIT: Oh wait, there already is an I. And a J though... Your Symbol must be fixed.

No, there's an i and j. Not J  wink
(except, apparently, in the Bessel function)

Oh, so "I" can be used.  big_smile

Not if you're working with matrices or unit intervals.

Re: JH's Number

I shall devise a problem that this number solves and a new symbol tomorrow. Also, a googolplexianth = 1/googleplexian. So 'I' is incredibly small.

No, that's not what I meant. I usually just say th after it for some reason I'm not really sure how to word it, so, yeah. Just googlpexian power? Yeah, that doesn't make much sense. Ok. To the power of googleplexian. There.
