Man Sueing for $1,784 Billion Trillion

cherryghost

A number that is completely unreal to anyone and everyone in this world, some wacko guy is sueing for an amount of money that the whole world combined cannot afford.

US bank customer Dalton Chiscolm could learn on Friday if he is one step closer to becoming the world's first ever billion-trillionaire.

Mr Chiscolm sued Bank of America in Manhattan's federal court in August for "$1,784 billion trillion", in a complaint that boiled down to poor customer service.

But US District Judge Denny Chin asked Mr Chiscolm to provide further evidence to support his claims by 23 October, or find them dismissed.

The actual number, 1,784 billion trillion, is equal to 1.784 multiplied by 10 to the 24th power, or roughly 1,784 followed by 21 zeroes.

Using the International System of Units, this number is called a Yotta.

Which is how much exactly?

"The Sun has the power of a Yotta microwave ovens," says Chris Budd, Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Bath, by way of explanation.

This unfathomable number is used mainly by scientists to measure the very small or the very large, said Dr Kevin Houston, senior lecturer at the the School of Mathematics at the University of Leeds.

But people are not meant to actually comprehend a number this size.

"I don't think the human brain is set to deal with those numbers," he said.

Just to put into perspective how much he wants:

- His demands will need a really rich person. Bill Gates fits that bill, in 2008 he was worth over $50bn. But even Bill Gates's pockets aren't deep enough.


- What if everyone on Earth, all 6.8bn of us, were as rich as Bill Gates? Not enough. That super-rich planet would be worth only $340 million trillion.

- What if we had 1,000 planets full of Bill Gateses? Still not enough to pay the bill, because 1,000 Bill Gates Earths adds up to only $340 billion trillion.

- It would in fact take 5,247 super-rich, Bill Gates-filled planets to just barely cover Mr Chiscolm's demand for $1,784 billion trillion.

Claim extra and you might just get a billion billion.

How on earth and who on earth gives these parasitic numbskulls the time of day. Throw them in an airtight container, they are a waste of oxygen.

Has anyone heard if he's won?

I need to decide whether I'd shag him or not and, frankly, the money is the clincher.

Could you not just say 1784 sextillion or 1.784 septillion if you're using the system where 1 billion = 10^9? (Unless I'm horribly wrong :pac: )

Personally prefer the 1 billion = 10^12 naming system as it seems to make more sense to me. I used to get some maths question wrong because they used 10^9.

You can't the water is not a boiling point for this reason. Its only at 70-80oc IIRC .

Maybe a good laugh and a cup of tea for there troubles :rolleyes:

the man was in the bank complaining about the customer service and said I want a 'lot of money' in answer to a clerks question of what do you want to make this go away?

meanwhile at the same time that mathamatician was going about his business in the background with his normal banking duties when he heard through the gentle murmor of the background noise in the bank

"a yotta money" Gasped..went over and whispered in the clerks ear, who fell over with shock, then finally when he regained consciousness he picked up the telephone (they have telephones in banks not phones you know) and was put straight through to the top floor throne room where Mr Bearing was reluctantly called away from his orgy of 12 virgins and lots of wine and olives and the rest is history.

You should sue someone, you'll make a mint.

This guy won't win the court case. I don't think any court in the world would give that much money for some stupid lawsuit. This guy needs to wake the f*ck up and p!ss off:mad:
