Google - Where the journey started


Google's Story (since its beginning in 2005) - 1st episode.


Google's Naming:

The name of the most used and popular website in the world today is "Google". The name is a distorted form of "Googol", which is a huge amount of numbers. Let's get an idea of ​​how big this number is. Putting six zeros after 1 is one million, it is called 1 million. Then if we add three more zeros, the number will be 1 billion. Let's add three zeros again. This time the number will be one trillion. Adding three zeros in this way gives quadrillion, quintillion, sextillion, septillion, octillion, nonillion, decillion, undecillion, etc. .

Finally, after 1, you have to multiply exactly one hundred zeros. The number that can be found is 1 Google (1 Googol). That is, (10)^100) = 1 Googol. Then you can imagine what a huge number Googol is!

The full address of this office: 1800 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, California, USA. Google's commercial office, namely Googleplex:

The name of Google's commercial office is Googleplex. Google's parent company, Alphabet Inc., also has an office in the same location.

The name of the office is also out of mathematical calculations

1 Googleplex = 10^Google = 10^{(10)^100}.

One might have an idea of ​​the enormity of the Google number, but the Googleplex number is so large that it is unimaginable. Literally, if the number is written, it will not take place in the universe.
