Its time /sci/

Explain to me what Surreal Numbers are. Does studying this number tree have any real world applications? Are there any other mathmatical abstractions that compare in either grandness or scope to this set? I'm absolutely fascinated by infinites, infinitesimals, and anything too large or too small to compute. Googleplex, infinite series, anything. Anything similar?
