Transfinite

A concept which, according to Stuart Kauffman, refers to numbers so big that they are beyond the reach of operations performable by and within the universe. According to William Dembski, this equals numbers larger than 10^150, which he calls the universal probability bound.

William Dembski suggests we call such numbers hyperfinite numbers, since "transfinite numbers" has a different meaning in mathematics.
