On “Graham's Number Is Too Big to Tell How Big It Is”

…ally the closest thing we have to a 'standardized' way of comparing the sizes of very large numbers. I would also recommend Giroux Studios' 'Extremely Large Numbers'1, which takes a similar style to Metzler's videos and goes further with the fast-growing hierarchy. (Does something called 'infinite collapsing functions' sound interesting...?) 1 link to this video…

On “Large Countable Ordinals, Part 1”

Recently watched the Extremly large numbers 1 youtube series, which nicely complements Baez's series with examples. (Quick follow up question, as far as I understand, there should be a way to understand large cardinals as recursion, so I wonder if there is a (ultra-) finitist account of large cardinals.) 1 link to this video

For real, learn to abuse youtube and twitter algo's. I get random suggestions like this: link to this video Math and art are thing I like, just keep hard blocking stuff you don't like and upvote stuff you do.
