Actually I think the "plex" number is an even -larger- one..

Yes, 10^100 is a googol. The term was coined by a mathematician (I think Kasner ???) who got the word from his young nephew or relative.

10^googol is a googolplex.

Numbers of this magnitude are rarely used. I have seen them in calculations of things like estimating the number of electrons in the universe and things like that.
