Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Russia fines Google $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
One million Russian rubles is about USD10,000. A Russian court ordered Google to pay a staggering amount of penalty for refusing to pay fines for blocking pro-Russian channels on YouTube, a subsidiary of Google. The amount is too vast and beyond comprehensive, two undecillion rubles, a 2 followed by 36 zeroes, or roughly USD20 undecillion, 20 x 10 raised to the power of 36. That is much larger than the sum of the global economy. The numbers most of us can literally grasp are as much as billion, 9 zeros, or trillion, 12 zeros. After that, quadrillion, quintillion, sextillion, septillion, octillion, nonillion, and decillion follow, which are Latin figures plus “-illion”, a suffix that represents the power of one thousand. Even though Russia desperately needs money to pay for the war with Ukraine, what could such an unrealistic amount of money possibly mean?
Read the article and learn about the staggering amount of penalty Russia charges to Google.
