Is there a googolplex of anything in this universe?

I would say there is more than a googolplex of permutations of possible locations of every atom in the universe.

 

Number of digits in pi (you didn't specify finite ).

 

Don't know, but there is a plethora of pinata's somewhere....

 

I think the tax code contains a googolplex of new regulations each year.

I would try to comprehend this, but instead I'm going down to the Googoplex to catch a showing on Panic Room. Laters!

 

Stephan and Nate, you caused me to snort out loud!!!!!!!!

 

Number of dollars I still have to spend on HT gear....

 

If anything, neutrinos.
Some theories state that the missing 'dark matter' (mass) in the universe is neutrinos because they do have some tiny mass. That would have neutrinos making up ~90% of the mass in the universe, though individually immeasurable, and hardly interact with anything (e.g, they can go directly through the heart of the sun w/o even noticing.)
Therfore, there would have to be a lot of them. A googlplex...? Welp, I dunno. Time to start counting.

 

If you split the year into a googolplex number of time intervals (we can call it a goopol-second) and then calcutate the age of the universe you would have about 13 billion googolplex goopol-seconds that have occured since the beginning of time.
Make sense?

 

Yes: the number of girls who turned me down flat when I asked them to the prom.

 

Opps I forget the definition of a second:

The second is the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium 133 atom.

Yes.

The reason I asked is that I thought I had read somewhere that a certain extremely brief event at the quantum level (it's a much shorter interval than the cesium atom transition you refer to) represents the shortest possible time period--that time is "lumpy" in that sense. I could be wrong, though.

BTW, I was reading that research is being done into substantially increasing the accuracy of atomic clocks--so much so that they would be off by only two seconds since the Big Bang!

 

I don't know but there seem to be disproportionately more morons these days than I previously have noticed...particularly while driving.
