undecillion - the power of 38

Friday, November 03, 2006

undecillion.

10 to the 38th power.
or
10 with 38 zeros.
or
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

(i did sorta wonder how that sets of 3 zeros divided by 38 thing would work out)

1 to the 39th power just isn't the same thing

its nice to have a name for 38 of something.
25 has quarter, silver, one forth
and 39 has that silly "not 40" age nonsense.

but back to my story...

340 undecillion is the new number of IP Addresses that would be available should we all upgrade one key standard, called IPv4.

imagine everything in the universe having its own address.
a unique address assigned to every digital product and electric device ever produced.

i am so proud.
it's all about the power of 38.

You would need much more than 38 in that case.
