Episode Details

One of the first mathematical concepts that most of us grasp when we are children is that there is no such thing as the biggest number. No matter what number you pick, you can always add one to it.
You might think that such a simple idea wouldn’t have any profound impact in mathematics, but it does.
In fact, mathematicians have come up with numbers so mind-bogglingly large that it is difficult to even grasp their size, and new forms of notation had to be developed to even write them down.
