Short answer is no, AFAIK (DBO)

Computers can only handle mathematical operations up to a point

I mean, you can certainly visualize larger numbers at will, but the computer won't do anything with it.

There's nothing in particular preventing you from representing huge numbers on a computer. Such representations couldn't be used "natively" in the execution units, but it's not like the human brain has streamlined up-arrow registers and execution pipelines either.

Speed is a potential issue if you're going reeeaaaaallllyyyy big and need an exact answer, but with billions of 64-bit ops per second available, you can get a decent amount of work done in reasonable time.

(and even before that point, there are big limitations in how large one operator is compared to the other).

I'm not quite sure what you're referring to here.
