How high can Google count? Very high it turns out but there is a limit.
Using the Google search box as a calculator, Google’s ceiling appears to be 2.00135558564^1023, which Google says equals 1.79769313 × 10^308.
Try 3^1023 and you get the search results page instead of a calculated result. The same holds true for 2^1024.
Increasing the number to 2.001355585641^1023 results in the same total, 1.79769313 × 10^308. So that appears to be where Google stops calculating.
Does that mean anything?
Not to me and probably not to anyone else, apart from a few computer scientists… but knowing that Google has a limit is somehow comforting.
