How big is big?

I love big numbers.

The bigger the better. Nine zeros after a number? Great! Fifteen? Even better. How about a hundred? Bring it on.

If you like big numbers too, or if you want to understand how to understand these sorts of numbers, check out this video* by Neil deGrasse Tyson. With the help of his co-host, comic Chuck Nice, Neil helps everyone visualize big numbers and how they relate to each other. Just remember, big is relative.

*This eighteen-minute video really is amazing and I hope you will watch it. It’s fun to have your mind blown occasionally.
