I absolutely love this question. Postulate: You cannot define a largest physically describable number. My assumption is that due to the very nature of Kolmogorov complexity (and other Godel related / halting problem related / self referential descriptions), this is not an answerable or sensible question. It falls under the same language-enabled recursion problems as: - The least number that cannot be described in less than twenty syllables.
- The least number that cannot be uniquely described by an expression of first-order set theory that contains no more than a googol (10^100) symbols. |
