Googol

No. You are not seeing things.

It is spelled that way.

And will be explained in detail. Soon.

But first:

Mathematicians gather ‘round!

Good spellers too.

Spelling class may just be more important…..

Calculators abound.📏🧮🧾🔍

It is not what you think you know. Knew. Read. Or just read. It is not what the rest of us think we just read. Studied and re-viewed.

The Spelling Bee 🐝 of all Spelling Bees DOES include math.

Gosh darn it.

It was my understanding there would be no math.😳 (Chevy chase)

Debates and Sugar Daddy’s’, Sugar Mamas beware. (ct). Stealing is stealing is stealing. Borrowing is borrowing is borrowing.

A sign of the times?…. The gift that keeps on giving. Depends upon how one looks at 1+1=2 or 1 + 1/2 + 1/2= 2. How much blood is squeezed from the turnip, attempted to suck from the turnip. Does anyone even like turnips?

I can only count with my fingers, maybe even use my toes.

Count the letters. Count the characters.

Yep.

Count the characters🐸😺🐱 And there are many, many, many, many, many. Characters. You are one. I am one. We are all😃.

May the first character please step up. The lines form fast and furiously. And line cutting is a thing. A bad thing. An assumed thing. A thing thing. A fine motor thing. A face thing.

Name change. To the beginning of the alphabet? May get a character from point A to point B a bit sooner. But once there, then what. What’s the point. What’s the goal. What’s the measure of a person?

Kudos to the person willing to ask the hard questions. The real hard questions.

Like a mathematical equation such as the principle of least action: OS=O a/b, the simplest ratio: a/b=c/d, Fourier transom:f(x)=§F(k)e2nikxdk, Hubble’s law: U= Hod. You get the point? Perhaps you do not and that is ok. We all are not good at EVERYTHING.

The harder question is what does all that mean? To some, it may be like a different language. To others, yet, it is music to their eyes🎹🎼🪗🎻🎷🎺 and ears.💡

A light bulb moment of makes sense. Rational sense. We are all born different in His eyes for a reason, a season and hopefully longer. But. To successfully get from Point A to Point B it “pays” to never become complacent with the idea that the way things are are the way things are.

Why? The difference between better and best is “Me, myself and I.

Sounds counterintuitive to say the least. Where is the math equation for intuition. Does it exist. If you were to write it out, what would you symbolize it as?

Just for the sake of argument, would you write:😗+☺️=🫵🏻 or 🐸+🐢=🐢. Communication is hard, no matter how smart we think we are.

Stop. Drop. And Roll. Or Stop. Look and Listen.

Why don’t we just ask Googol? No. Not the Google(Google) you are so used to. The other Googol.

Googol is: Googol = 1 x 10 to the 100.

Written out in full is: 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.

If we add commas in the correct places, did you know, the same written out googol is: 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,0000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,00.

Go ahead. I dare you to count the Zeros😗. (If you can read them, that is.)🔎🔎.🤨😞🥸😐🫤.

Good old Milton. Or should I say good young Milton. Another founder of Googol. The gem or term was coined (yes, coined) in 1920 by 9 year old Milton Sirotta, nephew of US mathematician Edward Kasner. He may have been inspired by the contemporary comic strip character Barney Google. (wk)….(Not the big purple dinosaur guy.)

Kasner popularized the concept in his 1940 book “”Mathematics and Imagination”. See, mathematicians can be creative too.😃

The Googol term was also named other names: “duotrigintillion on the short scale, ten thousand sexdecillion on the long scale or ten sexdecilliard on the Peletier long scale.

Scales, measurements, yuck. And yuck. Boring. Give me the good stuff. The meaty stuff, the stuff that matters, you say?

It all matters. It is all matter. It all matters. Mundane? Kinda. Who cares. Probably said more often than not that it is boring. “When will I ever use this in my lifetime”….You Will. You do.

Respect the number and respect the life.

The difference between an unimaginably large number and infinity. Not to be confused with swipe til you drop, swipe til they drop. It means there are limits and limits should be respected. There is no real or bonafide infinity. Really. Limits are limits that keep us on the straight and narrow. On the straight line. Point A to Point B with little or very little confusion to eeek its way in.

Otherwise we are all mushoogie.

Carl Sagan, Scientist, took a stab at the point of the points. Even dabbling in extraterrestrial life, amino acids and basic chemical radiation. Are we all going to be growing two more toes or an ear in the back of our head?

I do not want to be the first or the last to know.

Martians scare me. Aliens, too. Anything that occurs outside of Earth is a little concerning. Even if they are prokaryotes or intelligent beings— look or acts like a bug. Has hairy legs or arms. Crawly kinda things are cute on the outside……..of our heads.

Cognitive abilities aside, as in the term Homo sapiens, sapience. Better check the spelling before making a date with the cute little fella…Lest you be running for your life, waving a stick, long or short at the cute little fella attempting to self exterminate the guy on your time, outta your “area”.

Let’s shoot for or wave a welcome hand to transcendent wisdom. Reality. Ultimate Truth. Doesn’t mean you can not or must stop collecting bugs in your zapper. (Please be kind—the zap sounds alone can be disturbing)

Aspire to travel to infinity and beyond with practicality. Practicality, wisdom, self knowledge, interconnected ness conditioned origination of mind-states and other deeper understandings of subjective experience.

The truthful and solidified way to live and move from Point A to Point B?

Deeper understandings+ Hard, meaningful questions=True Affinity of Infinity.😃
