Which is the largest finite number in MATHS • page 4/7 • Off-Topic Discussion • lichess.org

@ChessMathNerd well what about TREE(3)+1?

This is kinda a paradox... the highest number is infinite but that's not a finite number... but how much is really infinite...

@FC-in-the-UK well, I thought about TREE(3)KNUTHARROWTREE(3) , but that would not be a so called "named" number.
The largest recognized and defined number is what I meant.

(((10^10)^10^)54)

Anything beyond this is pointless.
