What is so "natural" about natural logarithms, considering that their base
cannot be conveniently written down exactly?

If you write 10^10^10 in ordinary 10-point type, will the answer string around

(for mathematical physicists) Name four principles of physics violated in each
and every episode of Star Trek.
