... if you can work out how to express the above number in English, I'd appreciate that very much
... if you are wondering what does it represent, then, here's the answer: IPV6
... and if you are wondering what IPV6 is, here is the answer
... and if you are still in the dark, then here's a cow's translation in cowenglish - it's the total number of internet web addresses we can have in the next 100 years I think. The old addresses scheme based on IPV4 has practically been all used up.

It represents 50 octillion web addresses. An octillion is represented scientifically by 10 to the 27th power. Consider this in terms that a billion is 10 to the 9th power.
For extra info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipv6
PS: There are only 6.5 billion people to share the 50 octillion web addresses. Don't ask me how many web addresses that is per person!!!!
