An interest of mine, and I've watched quite a few videos about it.  Numberphile has done at least 5 features dedicated to it and the mathematician that came up with the problem in which it is used.  Fascinating that a value so large has actually been constructively used.

It's not complex at all.  It's even an integer.

Actually, Graham's number could be considered complex, just that the imaginary part is 0. Tongue
