How Big Is 1?

Can we determine how big is 1? Like one meter , one second, one hour. We can tell if we compare one number with another number. It is the property of real number that a < b, or a = b, or a >b.

It cannot be determined how big is a stand alone number. We need another number to compare with.

We can put numbers in order. 1 < 2 < 3<…. This means that 1 << 10000, for instance.
