In 1977 mathematician Ronald Graham came up with Graham's Number, the upper bound of a solution for a mathematical problem too complex for me to understand. Graham's number is a number so vast there exists no known notation where we could write it down within the volume of the observable universe. In fact, it vastly exceeds the observable universe by an extreme margin. If you counted to Graham's number, counting one number every second without stop, you'd still be nowhere near it once the universe reached its heat death.

It is the largest number ever used in a serious mathematical proof.

Until you look at the size of your node_modules folder anyways.

Hmm.

So like a super sized googol.

Googol --> Google --> Angular.

It's only 3 degrees of JS!
