A google is 1 followed by 100 zeros ...
I believe it is the highest "named" number. (?)

I am serious and have contemplated asking this on the forum for ever. I have asked everyone I know and have no real concrete answers.
My grandma said back in the early 1900's that a thousand was the number people understood and beyond that was just not really considered. She said that in a business course they were learning to write checks and the thousands place was as high as it went. She questioned it and her teacher poo pooed her making it seem as if a thousand was all she would ever really know.
I have thought about this for years and this has helped me to shape my perception of reality to an extent. I will attempt to explain and then my question.
We as a a part of the matrix (never used that term personally, yet it seems to fit), are only allowed to understand anything and everything to a point. Beyond that is considered or not even considered too far outside the acceptable box of the comfort zone of social acceptance. Just as in the past people were not to question the Bible, so too everything which is written on the wall of this reality has its cap. Any questions beyond that is unreasonable or childish and just shooed away.
Now I have been openly asking this question long enough for the reality to be shaped and opened. So here it is, what numbers come after trillion? I guess Gazillion, just a guess mind you, and short of asking a matematician this question, I have asked even a CPA and did not get the answer. If you doubt me, I urge you to ask 5 people you respect this question and watch their response.
Now, if any one knows the answer I would appreciate knowing, expanding my box so to speak. I think six would be sextillion, again a guess. How high can you count? How far out of the matrix of confinement do you go?
Infinity is not an option here, its a cop out.
One more thing, how many trillions can the Government discuss before the next level of understanding opens? At one point they only spoke of millions, then it became billions, now trillions are in the G.P. vocabulary, whats next? Do you know?
Please no trolling, as this is an important question and one that opens many other boxes which have been capped away from people, kept them controlled on a very deep level. You and I may struggle with this question, but do you seriously think those that are holding the puppet strings would hesitate for an instant with it?
Sextillion is not even in spell check... Once you have your answers be sure and see if you can google the number or spell check it.
