A New Generation Marks Time Their Own Way
The other day, Daniel asked me:
"Dad, is there like - googolplex seconds in a year?"
The beauty of the question is the way that it combines something timeless with something very specific to our time. I would have asked a quantitative question, at his age, in similarly wholesale commodities, but I never, ever had a notion of "googolplex" as a child - or even as a young adult.
