it holds the record for the largest number ever used in a serious mathematical proof.
So it's not actually the largest number ;-) The fact that you can always just simply +1 proves that it is infinate :roll:

I can't believe this thread ever came about actually :facepalm: :lol:

And we're back at n+1 :lol:

Graham's number could just be +1 and used in a serious mathematical proof to show that there are bigger numbers, so the 'biggest number etc. claim' is tedious at best. :lol:

You can not +1 to infinity.

Infinity has many interesting properties.
Infinity +1 has the same value as infinity.
Also, half of infinity is the same as infinity haha!
