tl;dr the numbers in Infinity Train makes no sense and makes this scientist want to scream cry and throw up
Being an astronomer that is also a fan of Infinity Train honestly gives me psychic damage when it comes to how absolute bonkers this number system is. For most of my life after Book 3 I have chosen to ignore it for the sake of my sanity but I cannot any longer.
For example, let's take a look at these two screenshots:
So in the screenshot on the left, Grace is something like 13-14, and on the right, she's 17-18 or something. The point is, this is roughly 4 or so years apart right?
Now take a closer look at Grace's number on the right screenshot:
So there's around 15 visible digits. Which would mean that her number is in the 10^15 range, or a quadrillion, right? Nope.
There's digits all around her arm. So let's use our physics brains and assume her arm is a perfect cylinder, and that 3 digits spans the diameter of this cylinder. So with grade school math we know the circumference is pi*diameter, so actually she would have 3 times as many digits on her arm at that moment.
3*15 = 45
her number is in the order of 10^45.
10^45. One with 45 zeroes behind it.
Do you KNOW how MASSIVE that number is?????
BUT WAIT you say, her arm isn't a perfect cylinder, her wrist is smaller than her elbow. Fine. 10^40 then.
Coincidentally, when I made a number glove for my Simon cosplay, it also ended up having roughly 40 digits on it, but I digress.
LET'S PUT 10^40 INTO PERSPECTIVE.
This is the Sun.
In terms of kilograms, the sun weighs 2x10^30 kilograms. So again, that is 2 with THIRTY ZEROES behind it.
But if Grace's number at the beginning of Book 3 was a mass in kilograms, it would be at least ten orders of magnitude greater than that. Not ten times. Ten orders of magnitude. In other words, TEN BILLION TIMES THE MASS OF THE SUN.
Do you know what is ten billion times the mass of the Sun?!
THE LARGE MAGELLANIC CLOUD
So, Infinity Train writers, you are telling me, that in the span of four years. Grace's number went from 702 to A FUCKING GALAXY SIZED NUMBER?!
Okay chief. Sure. Why not.

Just saw a post on twitter with a full guide on how to turn the haptic feedback in armored core 6 to work with sex toys and that’s how I know we in the 10,000 years of darkness xiolin showdown prophesied. I’ll be remaining indoors for the foreseeable future

How Did It Come to This
Just the other day somebody said to me
'Hey, maybe you're just slightly schizophrenic
And a little out of reach, my friend'
I said 'Yes, that's partly true'
But jokes aside, I can explain
It's just my way of keeping track
With living on this planet
Now then
Have you turned on your TV?
Have you seen reality?
Have you seen the programme?
That you've spent your whole life looking for
There's a girl in Camden town
Indecision makes her frown
Which dress would she wear today
And which way should she smile at me?
How did it come to this?
How did it ever come to this?
All the noises and all these lights
All these talking through the nights
All these expectation now
It's making me neurotic
Tell me, have you seen your face before?
I forgot to say 'Hello'
Thought I'd make it clear now
That I've always been a smiler, tell me
How did it come to this?
How did it ever come to this?
How did it come to this?
How did it ever come to this?
Sometimes it's like I'm a world away
Sometimes I feel a world away
Just the other day somebody said to me
'Hey, maybe you are oh so slightly OCD
A little out of reach, my friend'
I said 'Yes, that's partly true'
But, jokes aside, please stay with me
It's just my way of compartmentalising all the things I see
How did it come to this?
How did it ever come to this?
How did it come to this?
How did it ever come to this?
