The common argument is: “what about when you reach infinity?” Infinity is never reachable; therefore, the biggest number known to man is also unreachable, because, if infinity goes on forever, there is also a number a infinitessimally smaller than infinity, but not infinity. And seeing as infinity is unreachable, so is the largest number known to man. It’s a little difficult to explain, but if you imagine a car moving up a road, mile by mile, getting greater, as a number. This represents infinity, which is unreachable. There’s a man chasing it, representing the largest number known to man, which never reaches the car (or infinity). As he runs along, he, as a number, becomes bigger, yet, never stops. This means that the largest number known to man is infinitessimally lar
