My eyes burn from the static. It cleanses! Oh, how it cleanses!
I think this is just a bit over the top for me. +1 anyways.

This is the discussion related to the wiki page SCP-2334.
Yeah. That line is narmy as all hell.
I say drop the footnote. The Foundation has found and contains many things that clearly prove everything we know wrong; a vault with literally ever photograph possible is par for the course for them, and having m more photos than atoms in the universe wouldn't come as a total shock besides maybe to the newbies. Or maybe I'm just jaded, idunno.
Alright, agreed. Edits made, though I compromised on the footnote because some folks liked it.

As a major fan of Jorge Luis Borges, I am compelled to upvote.
Indeed. Looking back, a Library of Babel but for photos is such an obvious expansion of the concept that it's hard to believe nobody thought of it before.
Also, props for a good use of a deep-dreamed pic.
The story about that place that holds all the possible books? I have no idea where I heard about it, but that sounds kinda familiar.
Interesting. Still deciding what to think about it. However, one note - it's spelled "spatial", not "spacial". (I know, given that the root word is "space", you'd think that would have a "c" in it, but what can I say, that's English for ya.)
Oops! Well, that's embarrassing. Fixed.

The total number of images possible at 2000 by 3000 pixels (the approximate resolution of each print) is calculated to be 224^6000000, or nearly 1010^10^7.
Footnotes
1. The number of atoms in the observable universe is believed to be approximately 1080.
I'm glad you included this; I wouldn't have gotten the significance of the numbers otherwise.
While the initial concept of every photo ever interests me, you took the SCP to the least interesting and safest path: generic spooky cult.
Not really. Looks to me like the spooky cult formed after the SCP came into being, and was inspired by it. That's at least a bit different from the usual.
The nested exponentials seem odd to me. Is that a normal format that I have just never seen before?
It's super-super script for stacked exponents. Supposed to look like this: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=2%5E24%5E6000000
If anyone knows of a way to do that using wikidot syntax, please let me know.

Most likely. 1010^10^7 is 1010^(10^7), or 100,000 googolplexes.
Actually, it's this many:
http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=10%5E10%5E10%5E7+%2F+10%5E10%5E100
Not sure if that's the same as 100,000.
I need to fix the exponent notation to make it more clear.

I love how completely meaningless that number is. It's just so big! I also like the weirdness of this photo cult, and "SCP-2334 is an anomalous underground salt mine and photograph storage facility", as if those two things were meant to go together.
Is the 'the' in the spatial control paradigm intentional? I assume that it wasn't supposed to have any 'e's whatsoever. If that's the case, you could use 'said artifact' instead of 'the artifact'.
Good catch! Thanks.

Reminds me of SCP-1986, in a good way. Upvoted.
As the author of SCP-1986 I agree. In a good way
