google is not the name of a company .... it is the highest number ... (which is why they chose the word “google” for the name of their company)

“The largest number cannot be a number plus 1.”

The above is true as the proof for the existence of infinity and the fact that there is no largest number is that there exists no number to which 1 can not be added.

The largest number of things would probably be the number of quarks in the universe.

It’s pretty much meaningless drivel because any of those numbers +1 IS a bigger number and saying it does not count is schoolyard game rules. If adding one is not convincing, then double or triple the whatever number. I don’t see the point in studying such numbers. Unless your counting Trump votes of course. .... Just kidding

I don’t understand the idea that a number has to be useful in some way. Its utility is in its mere existence. You can always add one more, to a number without bound.

The term “infinity” comes to mind.

The largest number is the sum of all numbers, and that total is -1/12.

No, really, it is.

He applies three rules. The largest number cannot be a number plus 1.

Mathematicians are some of the most brilliant ... and illogical people on the planet.
