Hold on, let me create a new universe to hold all the matter needed to compute and write out its value.
This is almost certainly not computable in any amount of finite time since the Busy Beaver function is not computable in general, and is probably not computable for even much much smaller arguments (say on the order of 100 or possibly much less). So if one is working in computable universes this is simply not computable.
It's an integer, of course it's computable!
