A googolplex is one with a googol zeroes after it. A googolplex is impossible to write. It would take more space than that which exists in the observable universe.

Yep.

The number of atoms in the known Universe is reckoned at being around 10 to the 85. So if you multiplied the number of all atoms in the Universe by ten to the 15th power (a thousand times a million times a million)you would have a googol.
