nice find I guess they don't implement unlimited significance, to save computation time (it ain't free for them..)

Yeah I'm pretty sure the value is rounded because you have too many significant digits. Looks like the maximum is at 13 or so. Even something really simple will get rounded, for example:

3 999 999 999 999 999 + 0 = 4e15

2.00135558564^1023 is interpreted by Google's calculator as 1.79769313 x 10^308. But increase that number by one eensy little amount to 2.00135558565^1023, and Google interprets it as a search, not a math problem.

If you watch Godzilla backwards it's about a benevolent lizard who helps rebuild a city and then moonwalks into the ocean.
