The Plexing Of 888

Our goal, with this essay, is to explore.

To explore two ideas: plexing and, then, the number 888.

Or, more specifically, the number 888, plexed to itself.

What Is A Plex?

A plex is a procedure that involves taking a number and, then, adding that number of zeroes to that number.

If you have the number “1,” for example, and you plexed it, you would get “10.”

The same is true for any number, such as “10,” which would lead to “100,000,000,000.”

You can use this procedure to generate massive numbers with remarkable ease.

Our goal, with the remainder of this essay, is to explore what happens when you plex 888.

What Is 888?

The number “888” is “eight-hundred-and-eighty-eight.”

Just 800, plus 88.

On its own, this is a big number. But, it doesn’t have to be; 888 grains of salt isn’t very big, and 888 dollars isn’t always that big, but 888 years is quite large.

Regarding the latter, if we were to go back in time, 888 years, we would find ourselves in 1136 A.D.

If we went ahead 888 years, it would be 2912 A.D.

The vastness of 888 — again, this is subjective, yet relatively definite — is fun to recognize.

What Happens If You Plex 888?

If you plex 888, to itself, that number of times, you create 888 new numbers.

The first of these numbers is very, very large. And, with that in mind, this number is as follows…

88800000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.

The number outlined above is 888, followed by 888 zeros.

It is a big, big number.

But, more importantly, it is only the first number, in a process that gives birth to 887 more numbers.

The process of plexing 888 becomes much, much more difficult, after this first plex.

If you wrote out 8 billion zeros, one zero a second, it would take you roughly 256 years to do so.

The number 8 billion looks like this: 8,000,000,000

The number we just produced — 888, plexed to itself — is A LOT bigger than 8 billion.

If you were to write out the second number that 888, plexed to itself, produces, you would need to give yourself more time, and more space, than this universe offers or, perhaps, can offer.

Even a big, big number like googol — 1, followed by 100 zeros — will, when plexed, transcend the number of particles in our observable universe and, when written out, take up so much space that not even writing a vast wealth of digits on every atom in our observable universe will allow you to write out this number.

Right after you produce the number that is this second plex, you must produce a third plex.

A third plex that, much like the second plex, we cannot imagine.

And, then, you must repeat this process 885 more times.

What Is The End Result?

The end result of the process we have described is a number.

A number that is so vast, and so utterly indescribable, that our minds can never truly grasp it.

The number that this process creates is finite.

It transcends our mind, our neurology, our sense of self, our imagination; and so on and so forth.

But, in the end, it is a finite number.

A finite number that is actively transcended by, and through, infinity, greater conceptions of infinity, and visions of that which lies beyond language, form, and sense.

And so on and so forth, endlessly and infinitely; ad infinitum.

Conclusion

The world of numbers is truly extraordinary.

My hope is that, in reading this essay, you are inspired.

Or, at the very least, in awe.

No matter what, though, thank you so much for reading!
