No, a "Googl" is a 1 followed by 100 zeros, a googlplex is a googl to the googl
power.. (I think I'm correct on the googlplex one)..
Pretty Close
Googolplex is the number 10^{\,\!10^{100}}.
It can also be written as 10^googol
or as a 1 followed by a googol (10^100) zeroes. In 1938, Edward Kasner and his
nephews Edwin and Milton Sirotta coined the term "googol." Milton then proposed
the term "googolplex" to be "one, followed by writing zeroes until you got
tired." Kasner decided to adopt a more formal definition "because different
people get tired at different times and it would never do to have Carnera [a
champion boxer] a better mathematician than Dr. Einstein, simply because he had
more endurance."[1]
I learned something today!
