How big is Rayo's number?

Rayo's number: The smallest number bigger than any number that can be named by an expression in the language of first order set-theory
set-theory

How many numbers are in Rayo's number?

F(n) = The least number that cannot be uniquely described by an expression of first-order set theory that contains no more than n symbols. Rayo's number is then just F(10100). So one way to answer the question would be to construct a function G(n) such that G(n) grows more quickly than F(n).

What is the largest finite number?

Graham's number is bigger than the googolplex. It's so big, the Universe does not contain enough stuff on which to write its digits: it's literally too big to write. But this number is finite, it's also an whole number, and despite it being so mind-bogglingly huge we know it is divisible by 3 and ends in a 7.

What is larger than Rayo's number?

BIG FOOT was created later by Googology Wiki user Wojowu, and was believed to completely dethrone Rayo's number. The idea behind BIG FOOT was to "diagonalize" over a generalization of nth-order set theory known as first-order oodle theory, and it was at the time believed to be enormously larger than Rayo's number.

What is TREE(3)? It's a number. An enormous number beyond our ability to express with written notation, beyond what we could even begin to comprehend, bigger than the notoriously gargantuan Graham's number.
