what if you buy/sell huge quantities? like say 90% of the entire earth gold supply.

when you buy it, the market has barely any gold. price should skyrocket no?

You assume the traded gold market is larger than reserves that could be traded in a seller's market. If there are reserves that will sell to exploit your expensive depression on the market, you may not sell back enough to recoup your expense. Acctually, how would you recoup your expense from a shortage you created by buying? You think people would keep buying at a higher price forever? How faster are you selling the reserve you bought? If you flood it back onto the market, the price plumets immediately.

if someone used a bunch of shell corporations or whatever and bought 90% of all available gold, would the reserves even be put on the market? aren't reserves supposed to be.. reserved?

there would still be 10% of the supply still being traded. the price should go up right. then as the value increased, you could slowly/incrementally sell of your hoard through a different set of sell corporations or whatever. not at all once, but over a long period of time so the value doesn't immediately drop.

You don't violate anything. The first law only holds in a closed system, an open system getting energy input from the outside may decrease its entropy as it wishes. Once you create that hypothetical wormhole, the universe is an open system, you can decrease its sum entropy with energy input from the alternate universe.

And let's gloss over the other problems, such as the traversability of the wormhole or the energy requirements in the first place.

Ways to express Graham's number:
G
10 in "base G."
20 in base G/2
100 in base log10(G)
1000 in some other base
10000 in some other base

The point being that OP's image is dumb because "number of digits" depends on the base you use. Therefore, there is no such thing as a number that can't be "expressed in digits."

This is (indirectly) an unanswered question that cosmologists are EXTREMELY interested in answering.

- What is the behavior/size of the universe outside the speed-of-light x age-of-universe horizon?
- Is this crazy accelerating expansion/dark energy/big rip shit for real?

But in any case the answer is ALSO a number large enough that it can't be written in binary representation using every planck-cube in the known universe.

For the record:
Planck Length =~ 1.62 x 10^-35 meters
Planck Volumes/cubic meter =~ 2.44 x 10^105
cubic meters/cubic light year =~ 8.47 x 10^47
(Assume the known universe is a sphere with r = 13.5 billion light years.)
cubic light years/known universe = 2.46 x 10^30
Planck Volumes/known universe =~ 5.2 x 10^183

So we can write (in decimal notation) a number up to roughly 2^(5.2x10^183) digits long, or (more roughly still) 10^10^184.

This is almost uncomputably smaller than g1, btw.

The question doesn't care about matter. Since it's all hypothetical anyway using space makes it a little bit more interesting because it gives a much larger result. (using available matter you get about 2^10^81, 2^10^82 if you use dark matter. I wonder how much information you could encode in a beam of ultr-low intensity light powered by all the matter in the universe as energy...)

Thank you, I was looking for this one, but there has to be a better one. The flaw is that the balls entering the bottom of the tube will be pushed out by water pressure.

Small correction: due to inflation, the CMBR is at about 47 billion ly, not 13.7 billion(age of universe).
This increases the volume of the universe about 40 times.

Also, for those who don't know, g1 is the first result in a recursive function that defines graham's number, with g64 being G, Graham's number.

It would be a case of "if a tree falls and nobody is around to hear it; does it make a sound?" since you can't see inside the box.

I used to do something similar to this with reduced items on "buy one get one free" promotion. The BOGOF deduction was the value of one full-price item, so as long as the reduction brought the item to less than 50%, the cashier would actually have to give ME money (or, in practice, money off my other stuff and two free items). I think that loophole has been closed since, but it was funny while it lasted.

If we assume 1 bit can occupy a cube with side length of 1 planck metre, and then assume that the universe is 30 billion light-years across, and perfectly spherical. If we then count up how large a number could fit in this space, we're still not even an infinitesimal of the size of graham's number.
