Just How Massive is Google Anyway?

Tust MASSIVE How is Google, anyway? It's a closely quarded secret, but with a bit of mathematics we can get fairly close to estimating how gigantic it is in real terms... A googol is: 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 ..or 1 followed by 100 zeros (the amount of electrons in the entire Universe is estimated to be 1 followed by 79 zeros).
