SHOULD WE ALLOW PEOPLE to use an arithmetic limited to 10^200?

>>8247717
No, we should stop at 57.
We really can't comprehend numbers larger than this.

someone explain the 10^200 meme to me i really dont get it

>>8247737
Not enough sticks in the observable universe. Ooga booga.

>>8247737
There are ~[math]10^82[/math] atoms of Hydrogen in the universe.

[math]10^200[/math] is indeed an incomprehensibly large number. But saying we should "limit arithmetic" to a number is purely retarded. So people joke about it.

btw fuck /sci/'s LaTeX

>>8247757
>/sci/'s LaTeX
What kind of Latex are you normally using that doesn't need the exponents to be in brackets?

>>8247717
We shouldn't disallow it because stupid people can waste their time with whatever they want.

>confirmed for never having actually used LaTeX

>HE CAN'T USE LaTeX QUADS

>>8247757
Stop blaming /sci/ you morons.

arithmetic is minor in math

>>8247753
Who cares how many atoms are there?

Why don't you count electrons?

Why don't you count quarks?

Also, that's just the observable universe
