Its more impressive to count 67502 atoms than to count 1 universe
"67,502! 67,502 atoms, ah, ah, ah!"

That's a pretty unimpressive number of universes, though.
It's the most that's ever existed

but it is quite big

it's the amount we are 100% certain of that they exist

It's not the number that makes something big, it's what it's counting. 67,502 atoms isn't very impressive, but 1 universe is!

8 is a big number of gunshot wounds.
50 is that you?

Not really, though. Big numbers are a separate branch of mathematics. A googolplex, for instance is more than the number of atoms in the observable universe, but it's way smaller than grahams number.
What it counts is not exactly the point is more of a definition exercise of what the upper bound is of what we can imagine it put in words. Sometimes it has functionality, such as the largest Mersenne prime.

Definitely not a real number.

What about quaternions?

You cant exclude the chance conspiracy theorists are right

First of all, yes we can. We have tons of experimental proof. Secondly, even if the earth is flat or whatever it must still exist inside some form of a universe.

What about quaternions?
They seemed a bit too complex to bring up.
