I believe Graham's number was was part of a math game, not an actual theory, and so while used, could not be said to be practical so large is it. However, it is a bit shortsighted to assume there could not be a real application for a larger number still. There was a time in human history when 1,000 was meant to represent infinity after all. Side: False
Nope. Numbers don't have to represent real things, and so you can always add to them. And consequently there is no such thing as infinity really, as commented on the other side. Things can increase forever, the universe can expand forever, but that something can expand, or can increase inherently means they never were and so never could be infinite. Side: True

Four is the greatest number, any number can be related back to four. Example, three is five, five is four. One is three, three is five, five is four. Seventy-seven is twelve, twelve is six, six is five, five is four. Four is the only number with it's own number of letters in it. Side: False
