This might be totally insignificant, but I was just wondering the names of the large numbers, i.e. what comes after a trillion? The largest basic number that I found is called a Googolplex, which coincidently is the name of the multiplex cinema on "The Simpsons". Obviously, there are even larger numbers that this, but I just thought to keep this fun, we'd keep it as simple as possible.

This number is impossible to even write down in a lifetime, you can spend every second writing zeros and you will never be able to do it. As a matter of fact, one googol is greater than the number of all of the elementary particles in the known universe. Even if all the matter in the known universe was converted to paper, there would still not be enough paper to write this number down...it's that big.
