Print "1 followed by googolplex number of zeros"

Programmer Question

Assuming we are not concerned about running time of the program (which is practically infinite for human mortals), we want to print out in base 10, the exact value of 10^(googolplex), one digit at a time (mostly zeros).



Describe an algorithm (which can be coded on current day computers), or write a program to do this.
Since we cannot practically check the output, so we will rely on collective opinion on the correctness of the program.



NOTE : I do not know the solution, or whether a solution exists or not. The problem is my own invention. To those readers who think this is not a CS question... kindly reconsider. This is difficult and bit theoretical but definitely CS.

  1. I HAVE TOOK MY PERSONAL TIME TO DO THIS I UTILIZED WORD PROCESSING, 2D PICTURE SOFTWARE, IN 2D PICTURE SOFTWARE WORD PROCESSING, FONT SOFTWARE, AND SCREEN PRINT TUTORIAL TECHNOLOGY THE RESULTS ( WHICH CAN BE VIEWED IN PUBLIC PICASA PHOTO ALBUM AT http://picasaweb.google.com/TALEKMTC/GOOGOLPLEZERO?feat=directlink) WAS A NEW FONT PINT WELL UNDER 1PT. FONT AND VIRTUALLY INVISIBLE TO THE NAKED EYE, BUT LADIES HAVE PROBLEMS PICKING UP THE FINISHED PRINTOUT WHICH CAN BE SCALED TO 8 BY 11 IN. SO YES A GOOGOLPLEX CAN BE WRITTEN OUT IN THE KNOWN UNIVERSE JUST VERY DIFFICULT TO COUNT INDIVIDUALLY BECAUSE OF THE SIZE REDUCTION OF UNDER A MICRO NANO FRACTION OF A MICRO NANO FRACTION OF A ONE PINT FONT
