      <description>In this episode, Adam Spencer gets into the nitty gritty of the largest observable numerical unit known to man. Introduced by Ronald Graham in the 70’s, the number is a result of measuring properties on linear planes in higher than higher dimensions.

Sounds like a lot to take in? It is, but doesn’t necessarily have to be a big deal. Join the discussion as Spencer cannonballs headfirst into understanding one of the most complex numbers in human history.</description>

      <title>The Maths Behind Big Numbers (S1 EP03)</title>
      <link>https://findqualia.com/</link>
      <description>In this episode Adam Spencer tackles vast numerics. Large numbers that we can’t fathom, but due to a neat mathematical organization trick called shorthand we’re able to neatly conjure up a perceivable idea of just how far the numeral value of a googolplex can extend.

If you’re into finding out about how you can stretch your numeric vision to understand numbers on the giga scale, Spencer’s take on the approach is engaging, educational, and easy to understand.
