Welcome to my user page.

My goal is to become more involved on Wikipedia with what little time I have to help contribute to the site.


 * To do list for my user page.


 * Any other information about myself that people might find interesting
 * Links that are useful
 * Organize the list into a table
 * Put something here.

About User
I intend to contribute to Wikipedia whenever I can. I don't have much time to, but I will when I can.

Although my personal interests revolve around the natural sciences and math, I plan to contribute to Wikipedia about any subject.

Some possibly interesting facts about me follow:

Facts about me being on Wikipedia

 * My goal with Wikipedia is to contribute to the project to the best of my ability, despite not having very much time to offer. I guess that's everyone's goal with Wikipedia, save for vandals, trolls, and agenda-pushers.
 * I first began using Wikipedia in 2009, but did not have an account at the time. I don't remember the first article I ever read, but the first I do remember was Oxygen.
 * I first began seriously using Wikipedia in 2010. The first article I remember reading through during this time was Tube map.
 * This was also when I learned about the anti-Wikipedia sentiment many people have. Many people believe that Wikipedia is an unreliable source.


 * I considered making an account in 2015, but was far too busy to have enough time to be able to contribute to it, because I was already engaged with many activities and responsibilities. Even though I created this account in 2018, I still consider myself a new Wikipedian due to my lack of experience compared to many other people who have also been on the site for 5 years. (I last updated this fact in 2023.)
 * I have actually edited Wikipedia before I had an account, though it was only to fix typographical errors, grammatical errors, etc.
 * The first project namespace page I remember reading was call a spade a spade.
 * I took the Wikipediholism test because I like such novelties. As reflected in my userbox, I got 148 ("This is the optimal, most productive range."). This is clearly for fun, though I would agree with the sentiment when applying it to productivity in life as a whole, Wikipedia included therewith.
 * In addition to the original version, I took the legacy version. Thank you, Wikipedians, for making this test actually 4 hours long. Someone will pay for this.
 * And now I've taken the modern version. Don't talk to me ever again.


 * Because of how short on time I am in general, I won't likely be able to contribute to Wikipedia in the means of researching. I plan mostly on participating in discussions because they take a lot less time, as well as correcting typographical/grammatical errors or fulfilling the notices that I have time for whenever I see them.
 * There is an extra fact that is no longer correct, so I have relegated it to a comment in the source code, which you can view.

General facts about me

 * I am a Linux user now, though I don't really associate with the archetypal Linux user you see in the memes. I really just care about the fact that it isn't Windows 11, and I chose Linux over Mac because Linux is free, and I chose Linux over other free operating systems simply due to familiarity. I have turned away from Windows solely due to the fact that Windows 11 is somehow worse than Windows 10.
 * Despite the above, I have always been an iPhone user, even though I don't like iPhones as much as other phones such as Android.
 * Yes, that's correct: I don't like iPhone, yet I still have one because there is no significant reason at this point in time for me to switch. When I get a new phone next, I may finally make the switch.
 * I also have an iPad that I got as a gift, but I haven't used it in years (for personal reasons, mostly regarding the source from which I received it) and may sell it soon.


 * I prefer tea over coffee. Usually, I will drink my tea unsweetened, despite preferring it slightly sweet.
 * "Sweet teas" from fast-food restaurants have far too much sugar for my taste, and I drink them uncommonly only for convenience.


 * I prefer cats over dogs, but have never had either. I plan to in the future.
 * I do have family with either or even both, so I've spent some time around them.


 * I know that personality tests are generally regarded as pseudoscientific, but I took one anyway (Myers-Briggs) and got INTJ consistently among three tests spaced a year apart.

Extra info about my userboxes

 * On the legacy test, I got 1,240,123,456,513,871 points (read: 1 quadrillion). It says: "You are an ascendant Wikipediholic. You don't belong on this plane, but we support your endeavors in editing your plane's version of Wikipedia. Gain 50 Eliteness'". Whatever that means.
 * I also gained 62 Eliteness: "Now you are as elite as a Dragon or Phoenix. May your eliteness guide the way. (You are also as awesome as Chuck Norris if you are this elite)"


 * On the modern test, I gained extremely high numbers of points, Eliteness, and Rare Coins, along with 2 Ultra Rare Coins.
 * Points:
 * The number of points I got is essentially $${10}^{{10}^{200}}$$ because this number is so large that all other point values disappear into the error. This number, by the way, is equal to one googolplex to the power of one googol. A math proof follows in the collapsible below.
 * So, in order for me to show my actual score, I've separated my point values into groups.
 * "Normal" point values (less than 10,000): these sum to 43,519.
 * "Huge" point values (between 10,000 and 999,999,999, inclusive): these sum to 308,842,953.
 * The provided value in the userbox is "very much greater than 308,886,472", to reflect the excess beyond the "huge" range.
 * "Ridiculous" point values (1 billion or higher): These sum to 100,100,100,011,000,056,776,777,777,550 plus a googolplex to the power of a googol ($${10}^{{10}^{200}}$$) plus the abomination below:
 * $$2^{29} + \frac {{10}^{18}-1} {20.25} + \sum_{i=0}^{9}{\sum_{j=0}^{28}{i(10)^{j+29(10-i)}}} + \sum_{i=0}^{9}{\sum_{j=0}^{7}{i(10)^{j+8(10-i)}}}$$
 * This comes out to, sans the googolplex part, 11 111 111 111 111 111 111 111 111 111 222 222 222 222 222 222 222 222 222 223 333 333 333 333 333 333 333 333 333 344 444 444 444 444 444 444 444 444 444 555 555 555 555 555 555 555 555 555 556 666 666 666 666 666 666 666 666 666 677 777 777 777 777 777 777 777 777 777 888 888 900 000 000 111 111 112 222 223 344 444 444 555 555 556 666 666 677 777 877 988 899 939 439 493 264 031 178 points.


 * I would like to mention I hate everything.
 * Eliteness:
 * The level of Eliteness I got is listed as "very much greater than 32,462.1" because it is. Again, I divided the point values into groups.
 * "Normal" Eliteness values (10,000 or less): these sum to 32,462.1.
 * "Huge" Eliteness values (between 10,000 and 1 trillion, exclusive): these sum to 3,512,345,455.
 * "Ridiculous" Eliteness values (1 trillion or more): there was only one, 555 555 555 555 555 555 555 555 555 555 555 555 555 555 555 555 555 555 555.
 * This comes out to 555 555 555 555 555 555 555 555 555 555 555 555 555 555 555 559 067 933 462.1 Eliteness.


 * Rare Coins:
 * The level of Rare Coins I got is listed as "much greater than 5,047" because I felt like dividing these values too even though I didn't really have to.
 * "Normal" Rare Coin counts (less than 10,000): these sum to 5,047.
 * "Huge" Rare Coin counts (10,000 or more): these sum to 55,555,555,500.
 * This comes out to 55,555,560,547 Rare Coins.
 * Ultra Rare Coins:
 * Finally, a currency/point system that isn't actually like this but worse. I received 2 Ultra Rare Coins.
 * At this point is it even a test anymore? I mean, the original one was worth points in the sense of measuring addiction level to Wikipedia, and here these are basically points in a game. I want more of those Ultra Rare Coins, specifically 3, so I can get the Special Green Badge from the shop, which costs 5 URC.

For reference, a googol is $${10}^{100}$$ and a googolplex is $${10}^{{10}^{100}}$$ (which is $${10}^{\text{googol}}$$).

We set out to prove that a googolplex to the power of a googol is equivalent to $${10}^{{10}^{200}}$$ by using nothing but exponent laws.

Multiplying two quantities with the same base causes the exponents to add. Therefore, we can work backwards towards an expression containing a more familiar quantity:

$${10}^{{10}^{200}}={10}^{{10}^{100 \cdot 2}}$$

Exponents that multiply can also be written as raising the base and one exponent both as a whole quantity to the power of the second exponent:

$${10}^{{10}^{200}}={10}^{{({10}^{100})}^2}$$

We can use the law from the first step to reverse this quantity as well:

$${10}^{{10}^{200}}={10}^{{10}^{100} \cdot {10}^{100}}$$

And then the law from the second step again as well:

$${10}^{{10}^{200}}=({10}^{{10}^{100}})^{{10}^{100}}$$

Which is the same as writing

$${10}^{{10}^{200}}=(\text{googolplex})^{\text{googol}}$$.

Therefore, a googolplex to the power of a googol is $${10}^{{10}^{200}}$$.

$${\blacksquare}$$

For reference, a googol is $${10}^{100}$$ and a googolplex is $${10}^{{10}^{100}}$$ (which is $${10}^{\text{googol}}$$).

We set out to prove that a googolplex to the power of a googol is equivalent to $${10}^{{10}^{200}}$$ by using a logarithm.

By this method, we ask ourselves a different question: What power must I raise a googolplex to in order to obtain the value of $${10}^{{10}^{200}}$$? Such a question is answered by a logarithm. We use a googolplex as the base (the number that receives the power) and $${10}^{{10}^{200}}$$ as the antilogarithm (the target number to reach after the exponent is applied):

$$\log_{{10}^{{10}^{100}}}{{10}^{{10}^{200}}}$$

We can solve this by first moving the exponent of the antilogarithm, $${10}^{200}$$, outside the logarithm.

$${10}^{200}(\log_{{10}^{{10}^{100}}}{10})$$

Now the question has become "what must I raise a googolplex to in order to obtain 10?" Because 10 itself is the base in googolplex, this simplifies to whatever exponent is inside the base, with a negative sign.

$${10}^{200}({10}^{-100})$$

By the laws of exponents, this resolves to

$${10}^{100}$$

which is equal to a googol. This answers the question we created above: What power must I raise a googolplex to in order to obtain the value of $${10}^{{10}^{200}}$$? The answer is a googol.

Therefore, a googolplex to the power of a googol is $${10}^{{10}^{200}}$$.

$$\blacksquare$$
