He's gonna be walking for a little bit

I don't get it. Is "tree" some kind of notation?
- TREE is an extremely fast-growing function in set theory. TREE(1) equals 1, TREE(2) equals 3, and TREE(3) equals a number so large that its lower bound easily dwarfs Graham's Number.
  
  Well, that escalated quickly.
- Yes, TREE(3) is larger than a googolplex or even graham’s number.
  
  Why do I always feel like I need a PhD to understand even the first paragraph of Wikipedia articles about math. Is that just me?
  
  What about our friend TREE(Graham's Number)
  
  That article is not comprehensible to most people
Math meme ... it's a math meme!
- Is math related to science?
  
  I don't think so, science deals with reality and math are just floating around

  Hissssss
man hes gone have to do a lot of walking again... Offtopic: The funny thing is TREE(3) is an absurdly long distance, independent of the physical unit. Even TREE(3) times the planck length is unimaginable long, as the ratio between a meter and the planck length is absolutely neglectable against such super large numbers.
- It's so large that the number of digits it has is too large to represent, and the number of digits in that number is too large to represent, and so on for a number of times that is also far too large to represent.
- So the only way it's worth taking about it is in memes right? Right?
Let's say you have to move to the infinite room. How can someone check out of the hotel?
- There is no infinity room, but there is an infinity pool
- You can check out any time you like
  
  The only issue is that if I have to travel to an infinite distance to the lobby, I'll never check out.
That's my secret, I'm always moving.
