Highest Number Identified?

[Kathianne]

Got it in an email:



An international mathematics research team announced today that they had discovered a new integer that surpasses any previously known value “by a totally mindblowing shitload.” Project director Yujin Xiao of Stanford University said the theoretical number, dubbed a “stimulus,” could lead to breakthroughs in fields as diverse as astrophysics, quantum mechanics, and Chicago asphalt contracting.

obviously a hoax....a "stimulus" can only be an abstract, ever changing amount, and thus it would be unscientific to refer to it as a "number"......

It's like pi. It's a number that obviously exists and is theoretically finite, but which cannot be finitely calculated.

now that is some infinite logic
