日本語の意味

「googol」とは、10の100乗、すなわち1に100個のゼロが続く数を意味します。短いスケールでは「ten duotrigintillion」に、長いスケールでは「ten sedecilliard」に相当します。

A googol is far larger than the number of atoms in the observable universe, so its practical applications are mostly theoretical.

10の100乗（10^100）は観測可能な宇宙に存在する原子の数よりもはるかに大きいため、その実用的な応用はほとんど理論上のものに限られます。

The number 10¹⁰⁰, or ten to the power of a hundred. Equivalent to ten duotrigintillion (short scale), or ten sedecilliard (long scale).

Words of wisdom are spoken by children at least as often as by scientists. The name googol was invented by a child (Dr. Kasner's nine-year-old nephew) who was asked to think up a name for a very big number, namely, 1 with a hundred zeros after it. He was very certain that this number was not infinite, and therefore equally certain that it had to have a name. […] A googolplex is much bigger than a googol, much bigger than a googol times a googol. A googol times a googol would be 1 with 200 zeros, whereas a googolplex is one with a googol of zeros. You will get some idea of the size of this very large but finite number from the fact that there would not be enough room to write it, if you went to the farthest star, touring all the nebulae and putting down zeros every inch of the way.
