The highest number that has ever been counted is estimated to be around 10^80, which is a one followed by 80 zeros. This immense number is called the 'Kardashev scale' and was introduced by the Russian physicist Nikolay Kardashev. This number corresponds to the number of atoms in the known Universe. This truly is a massive number!
