A typical book can be printed with 10 6 zeros (around 400 pages with 50 lines per page and 50 zeros per line). Therefore, it requires 10 94 such books to print all the zeros of a googolplex (that is, printing a googol zeros).

Therefore, it requires 10 94 such books to print all the zeros of a googolplex (that is, printing a googol zeros). If each book had a mass of 100 grams, all of them would have a total mass of 10 93 kilograms.
In each volume there are 405 pages with 1,000,000 "0"s and (note: only 400 of these pages actually have the numbers {"0"s} on them. There are 5 pages that are the title, copyright, ect.) So I calculated the amount of trees and mass needed to print all of the volumes, and there is.
As massive as a googol is, a googolplex is many, many times larger, such that it’s impossible to write all the zeros out. There’d be ten-duotrigintillion of them! Counting to a googolplex would be even more impossible. We can’t calculate how long it would take, but it’s estimated it would take longer than the age of the universe. As a ...
There's even a website (http://www.googolplexwrittenout.com/) where you can supposedly print out a googolplex written out (granted it's 10 94 volumes). Was Sagan just speaking figuratively, or is it really impossible to represent a googolplex in standard notation? Thanks!
Googolplex is a large number equal to 10^(10^(100)) (i.e., 1 with a googol number of 0s written after it). The term was coined in 1938 after 9-year-old Milton Sirotta, nephew of Edward Kasner, coined the term "googol" and Kasner extended it to this larger number (Kasner 1989, pp. 20-27; Bialik 2004).
