Very dense memory storage. (Read the full article)
| "Bits/cc (3.51g), memory diamond: 167.9e21
Assumes each atom is a bit, serialized in some fashion, stored as stable isotopes 12 and 13 in roughly equal proportions.
1 cc stores:
37e15 300-page books,
370x10^6 libraries of congress
718x10^6 years (!) of video
4.2x10^12 movies, assuming existing DVD formats.
7.5x10^9 years of CD-quality audio or 30x10^12 CD albums.
18x10^9 human brains, assuming 200x10^6 cells, each with 1000 synapses, 48 bits per synapse.
A cc, 3.51g, will easily store a human being and its every book and sensory experience..." (Ray Van De Walker 9/13/2006 3:49:55 PM ) |
