This is my little tribute to the imagination of Jorge Luis Borges. In his story The Library of Babel he describes a library which doesn't just have a lot of books, it has every book that could be written with an alphabet of twenty-five symbols (twenty-two letters, comma, period, and space).
It is fascinating to think about what this library contains. For every person there is a book which describes their life and death. Every idea you could think of is written in a book somewhere, while another book describes the opposite idea. The translation of every book into every language (with the same alphabet) is also in the library. You can try reading some of the pages if you are looking for help with your life.
Of course, this library would be great to explore if it wasn't so big. Given books of 410 pages each, with each page having 40 lines with 80 letters on each line, there are
251312000
books in all (where 1312000 = 410×40×80). I'll call this Borges' number. The first 3200 digits of this number are

The full number is a 1 followed by 1834097 digits. This wouldn't fit in one of the books, though it's description certainly can. You can download the whole number as a compressed text file (844K) with 80 digits per line.
