The Maths Behind Big Numbers (S1EP03)

Adam Spencer likes to tear down mathematical complexities with a laid-back approach.

In this episode The Maths Behind Big Numbers, Spencer takes a deep look into some of the most unfathomable scales in terms of numeric vastness and paints us a vivid image of how to perceive such scales.

Mathematicians have managed to constrain these wild, untamed numeric values with a special weapon called shorthand. Five times five is five squared or five to the power of two. Suddenly, the scale makes sense.

When speaking of those shunned extra, extra large digits, we tend to approach cautiously. Human perception is weak against maths’ harsh immenseness, but with a little of Spencer’s fine-tuning, you’re set to conquer those terrifying googols and googolplexes.
