This is a horrific violation of Rule 1. In fact, it's so horrific, I will make a Googology PSA Exponentiation will not work, and in fact stopped working after Graham's Number. No matter how large the coefficients, it is impossible to get any higher with exponentiation without violating both the physical size of the universe and Rule 3.

And now we have the challenge of working out whether Terseedu or 999<<Grahm's number>>9999 is larger. I suspect Terseedu is, but Graham's Number is well into deutero-hyperion territory so it's not clear cut

Excellently done. Adding you to the OP. This is smaller than the previous number, and it has more than 10 digits. I put that up in red! My next number: Imagine x <<y<<y>>y>> x. This will be notated as x <<<2>>> y. x <<y<<y<<y>>y>>y>> x is x <<<3>>> y, and so on. Picture 4 <<<64>>> 4. This number is the huge Terseedu (from Waterbien, translates as "three-six-two").

I think that this fits in well with the game. KSP is a game about discovery and science, and this suggestion is the essence of both.

Just guess like a real astronaut .

Excellent, I'll update the leaderboard with your numbers. 99999 googolplex and 100 sextillion were just names, not explained. I'm working on my own Googological notation, so I'll be able to join the race soon. EDIT: x {4} y = x^x...^x, with x being repeated "y" times x {5} y = x{4}x...{4}x, with x being repeated "y" times Now, imagine x {y{y}y} x. This will be written as x {{2}} y This can be nested any number of layers deep. So, for example, x {{3}} y is x {y{y{y}y}y} x and so on. Expressed like this, g1 would be 3 {6} 3, g2 would be 3 {g1+2} 3, and so on. Graham's Number would be 3 {g64+2} 3. To simplify the writing of Graham's number, we can say that "x {y} z" equals "x <y-2> z". Like this, g64 would be 3 <3 <3... <4> ... 3> 3> 3, with 64 layers in total. Remember the double brackets I showed you earlier? Well, g64 would be between 3 <<64>> 3 and 3 <<64>> 4. Therefore, my next number shall be 4 <<64>> 4, which I shall name the Duseedu (derived from Waterbien, a conlang I sometimes work on). Have fun. There are more numbers bigger than Duseedu than there are smaller.

That reminds me of a Rule 7 I needed. Apologies for missing it out . All you need to do is define Graham's number and the spot on the leaderboard shall be yours.

1. Which functions do colons and commas represent? If you tell me, the answer will be yours. 2. The largest finite number defined by a human, if my knowledge is up to date, is a meameamealockapoowa oompa. 3. What do you call a Hispanaphone boy band? Juan direction. 4. 5. What is 3↑↑3?

Welcome to the second "My number is bigger than yours!", after the first was derailed by people who didn't understand what "bigger" meant. The objective of this game is simple: post a number bigger than the previous number. Here are the rules you need to know: 1. It must be a bigger number. 1a. It must not be a smaller number. 1b. It must be possible to prove that the number is bigger. 1c. If it is not trivial to prove that your number is bigger, you are expected to prove it. 2. No infinities 2a. No transfinite numbers 3. NO MORE THAN 10 DIGITS PER NUMBER! 3a. No walls of exponents 3b. No numbers where you copy and paste zeroes, or any other digit 3c. Functions are certainly allowed, as long as the total number of digits in all of the inputs is not greater than 10. 3d. You can recursively define functions to beat this limit, as long as the function itself has no more than 10 digits of input and none of the functions used in defining the main function have more than 10 digits of input as well. 4. No referencing the number before yours. 5. Your number should be sufficiently well defined that, given infinite time and space, one would be able to write it out in full. 6. Bonus points if you name the number 7. You must be able to define the number in terms of existing notation 7a. Constructing new notation to define your number is also allowed as long as the new notation is defined based on existing notation 7b. You may also define new notation with more new notation, and so on, all in one post, as long as the final number doesn't break any rules. 8. Functions (inc. computer programs) without inputs are allowed will be judged by their location on the fast-growing hierarchy. To ensure that you are not breaking rule 1, here is the scoreboard: (10^100)!, by Palladium Corp 1010100, by Holo (10^10^100)^10!+1, by Palladium Corp 1010110+1, by Holo ((10^100^100)^100)!+1, by Palladium Corp 101010500+1, by Holo ((10^100^100^100^100^100)!)!+1, by Palladium Corp 8100 + 1, by Holo (100!100)!+1, by Palladium Corp 100↑↑↑3, by Holo (100↑↑↑3)!+1, by Palladium Corp (100↑↑↑100)!+1, by Holo Past Scoreboards (For Historical Interest) Round 1 3 (three), by Holo tan(90-99^-999999), by SunJumper Graham's Number, by rasheed 4 <<64>> 4 (duseedu), by Holo 999<<9999>>999, by SunJumper 4 <<<64>>> 4 (terseedu), by Holo Terseedu<<(Terseedu)^(Grahm's number)>>Terseedu, by zekes (GYZP^GYZP){(GYZP^GYZP)}(GYZP^GYZP){(GYZP^GYZP)}(GYZP^GYZP), by SunJumper Round 2 -1, by theattackcorgi 100000, by 11JRidding 100001, by theattackcorgi S6, by Holo A(g64, g64), by jaidens111 Now that those are out of the way, let's begin

Why not add this?

Thanks to their high thrust, Mainsails are most efficient for interplanetary maneuvers. Due to their high mass, they can also stabilise the rocket - no SAS or struts are needed on a Mainsail booster.

Rule 1: No infinities

Rule 2: No referencing the number before you (e.g. whatever you said + 1) Please read the OP next time you post on any thread.

Tf↑↑Tf Equivalent to a wall of transfinite numbers with a transfinite number of numbers. In other words, transfinite walls are now obsolete and can not be used.

A more major reason is probably that it takes a long time to compile something so big (especially when snapshots were first discontinued and everything was moved manually - I think there was a devblog on the topic), and having to do it every day would basically halt development.

I've drafted some new rules for handling spaceports:

And if you can't get enough of large space objects, this website will be an excellent read: https://sites.google.com/site/largenumbers/home/2-1/surveying_the_cosmos, from a motorcycle to "Absolutely Everything in Existence".

Join, of course! The more players the better. Also, to 12togo34 (whoever that may be): Thanks for the feedback on the rules! -Holo

The sun is called the sun in game. Hence, solar panels.

Which mods are you guys using in your launches?

It won't have roleplay, there's a rule against roleplay in the OP and we all have a role to play in avoiding roleplay.

What exactly is a googolplexianth? I've never heard the term before.
