What's the biggest up-arrow notation number you can spell with 64 bits?

`9↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑9` seems like a reasonable guess (barring encoding cheats/trickery like @masfuerte commented!)

Edit: I've misread the above comment and my number is is 64 bytes (significantly more than 64 bits. The largest 64 bit number through my approach would be `9↑↑↑↑↑↑9`, which is significantly smaller.

Is there any intuition on how big this number is?

If every atom in the universe had a universe inside each proton, there still wouldn’t be enough atoms within all the universes in the protons. In fact you might not make it to four arrows with the above lol
