Thats what this clock is going to tick. Every second one added till we reach 1 billion seconds. In Dutch we refer to the name miljard.
Do you ever consider how large a number like a billion is? When we speak of money or in time? http://eenmiljardseconden.frankdeboosere.be |

Well you can take shortcuts, but this counts in seconds to a billion. It will last 31 years and a little more to reach.
Try to wrap your mind about the number billion and it's smallish compared to what is being used these days in science. Not to mentions computer components like transistors in CPU and GPU. |

It's interesting, but I'm not going to keep up with it. It'll take almost 32years to complete and I'll probably forget about this in less then 32 hours. send a message to yourself then. |

It is less than infinity so it is defined; it is not endless. Pi is irrational, but well defined. You believe or think that it is less than infinity but you cannot prove otherwise untill the final number of the whole digit can be shown. But I am definately not a mathemetics person, perhaps there are other ways to tell howmany cyfers graham's number or pi consists.. ? |

It is endless like the number pi. The number pi is still on this day not completed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHstyljzAXs |

It is endless like the number pi. The number pi is still on this day not completed. ![]() Dutch, both of these numbers are well-defined in the community. Irrational just means that you can not represent it completely using digits, but you can use an approximation that is good enough for practical purposes. Every modern car, building, space ship, radio, and most modern technology uses pi in its design. Graham's number is cool, but has no practical purpose. |
