It’s not the number that makes something big, it’s what it’s counting. 67,502 atoms isn’t very impressive, but 1 universe is!
Not really, though. Big numbers are a separate branch of mathematics. A googolplex, for instance is more than the number of atoms in the observable universe, but it’s way smaller than grahams number.
What it counts is not exactly the point is more of a definition exercise of what the upper bound is of what we can imagine it put in words. Sometimes it has functionality, such as the largest Mersenne prime.
8 is a big number of gunshot wounds.
50 is that you?
That’s a pretty unimpressive number of universes, though.
it’s the amount we are 100% certain of that they exist
It’s the most that’s ever existed
9136 looks so excited to be in their presence. I wonder if that was intentional (starting the number with a 9, which, coupled with the eye, makes a left-facing face) or happenstance.
Good artists think of all those things. Note how the 9 “opened up” more to be like smiling and standing at greater attention in respect, and in the other the number the 2 has it’s foot tucked behind itself in shame as it’s apologizing. Good stuff :-)
