theory and Donald X. are racing toward being the first to get to 3000 respect. theory has more recent activity, but Donald has the upper edge for now. Who will get there first!?

Donald X has the distinct disadvantage of not posting any more. Unless people go and give DXV a bunch of respect now, theory should likely win.

This would be a great time to announce that new promo card, Donald!

[popsofctown]

I respect theory more than Donald X

Someone appears to have done just that.

[Tables]

Yep, thought that might happen.

Looks like someone boosted Donald to 3000! Now that that happened, I'm thinking of upvoting all of his Secret Histories since they're so awesome.

Looks like someone boosted Donald to 3000!

Wow, 3000 factorial is a big number...

[all the digits of 3000!]

[jaw drop picture]

Still over 9000.

4.15*10⁹¹³⁰ish

[jaw drop picture]

Now pronounce that.

Really sudgy? Five digits in between spaces??

That's quite common for large numbers generated by computer.

You mean he calculated this the lazy way and used a computer? I'm disappointed.

[sudgy]

Hey, that's what my brain definitely not a calculator gave me.

[GendoIkari]

Still laughably small compared to Graham's Number.

[WalrusMcFishSr]

Graham's Number is still laughably small compared to Graham's Number times 2!

[theory]

Graham's number is so big that even the number of layers of calculation in the first and smallest of the 64 terms in its calculation literally could not fit in the known universe, assuming each digit occupied at least one Planck volume.

[Kirian]

Graham's number is so big that even the number of layers of calculation in the first and smallest of the 64 terms in its calculation literally could not fit in the known universe, assuming each digit occupied at least one Planck volume.

So in other words, it's entirely useless and meaningless?

If you mean the universe is entirely useless and meaningless next to Graham's Number, then yes.

[werothegreat]

I used to be third in respect, and now I'm sixth.  That's what I get for not posting for a couple months.

Well the number wasn't defined arbitrarily.  It's special because it's the answer to a problem in Ramsey theory, and was described as the largest number ever used in a serious mathematical proof.  So there's meaning to it beyond its incomprehensible largeness.

Whoa there, it wasn't the answer, it was just an upper bound.  The answer to that question is not expected to be anything like Graham's number.

Especially since the lower bound was, IIRC, 6. It was more about proving that the answer was bounded at all, and apparently the easiest way to do so was to bound it by a ridiculously huge number.
