He used the following sentence "Its 10,000 trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion years". He could have just said a long time - who can prove it will be that long?
It will never top an idiot abroad...
The point of that was to presumably attempt to explain the incomprehensible scale of the whole thing. IF he'd said 10^76 years, would you have grasped the scale? Or be any closer to doing so?
