What purpose is there in thinking up numbers bigger than this?

Do you want an actual answer or a meme answer?

Apart from recreational math for pure fun purposes, big numbers usually play a role in the theory of computation, e.g. to show that certain things are infeasible to compute with any amount of resources.

How encrypted do you have?...which inversely is just fractalled division.

Why not both?

The real answer is that when you look at sequences of repeated operations, you often want to know how "end behavior" looks as you let the repetitions occur with no end.

Let's say you are trying to solve a problem with 2^250 permutations per trial (e.g., a parking optimization problem for a small mall where each space has 2 possible states at each time instance). If you are trying to assign the "best" sequence of parking spots for incoming cars regardless of what the current layout is, you've got a pretty absurd number of possible permutations over a given trial period.

To then compare different strategies for "picking the best" parking assignments, you will need to figure out the average performance differences over this absurdly large solution space. Keep in mind this is just for the best parking assignment for one particular 250 spot parking lot.

In terms of meme answers, people get enjoyment out of chasing bigger and bigger dragons.

Which is an argument I have heard N.J. Wildberger use. Which is fine if the Universe is finite and static in the number of information bits it can hold.
However we dont know that. The Universe could be infinite. Or it could finite at a given time but infinitely expanding, which is the same thing as infinite.

the universe must be finite otherwise it cant exist
