The Library of Babel is a place for scholars to do research, for artists and writers to seek inspiration, for anyone with curiosity or a sense of humor to reflect on the weirdness of existence - in short, it’s just like any other library. If completed, it would contain every possible combination of 1,312,000 characters, including lower case letters, space, comma, and period. Thus, it would contain every book that ever has been written, and every book that ever could be - including every play, every song, every scientific paper, every legal decision, every constitution, every piece of scripture, and so on. At present it contains all possible pages of 3200 characters, about 10^4677 books.

to compare just how big 10^4677 is, lets think of the biggest thing you can reasonably really think of.
I of course mean, the entire Observable Universe, Which is about 8.8×10^23 km across.
That is to be clear to those not familiar with scientific notation:
880000000000000000000000
or 8.8 x a 1 followed by 23 zeros
the number of books is
a one followed by four thousand, six hundred, and seventy seven zeros.
but Okay that's in kilometres what about a smaller unit?
Well to skip the chase, the smallest distance that makes any sense the Planck Length, the theoretically shortest distance that can be measured. There's 6.25x10^34 to the metre, or 1m = 62500000000000000000000000000000000ly.
Well here's where can get an idea of just how power notation really hides how scale escalates, as
880000000000000000000000 * 2500000000000000000000000000000000?
that's
5.4×10^61 lp!
ah but that's just distance, which is nothing really. what about Volume of the observable universe?
well to save time that's just 8×10^184 lp³..
a library containing all of them would be so many orders of magnitude larger than the universe as to be meaninglessly larger
To close out, here is 10^4677
