It turns out that whoever is in charge of naming numbers in Chinese has a good sense of humor. What we call Ten Vigintillion (1064) they call “INCONCEIVABLE”. And there’s more!

Now that I have the ultimate table of Ridiculously Large Chinese Numbers, my next research project: Exceedingly Small Chinese Numbers. I wonder if they have equally ingenious names for one quadrillionth, or a picosecond?
