If a number is so large you can't compute all its digits, it's not actually real, is it? Like Graham's number wouldn't 'fit' into the entire universe so it doesn't really exist.

Mathematically we know it exists. If it's a number or not is more of a metaphysical question.

It exists in theoretical model not physically, like >>8546378 said
