[QUOTE="s/LaSH, post: 896113, member: 6929"] Ah, the joy of google page documents... Even if you take out our Solar System before lining up those 10^89 particles, the changes aren't noticed for 36 decimal points. (I think. Been a while since I've used Avogadro's number.) So I think we can afford to retain our homewold and source of energy. Once that allowance is made, break the Universe down into two columns, each of 5x10^88 particles. Then use a coordinated relationship between the two columns as a binary pair. (We'll ignore superstate qubits for the sake of conventional sanity.) You can have 00, 01, 10 and 11 - four combinations or four different levels per 'position' along the UniColumns, thus bringing the total data storing facility up to 2x10^89 bits. Using this principle, you reach 1 google bits with 37 'splits' (thus 2^37 columns). You need a little more than that for each page, however - assuming each page takes up 1 megabyte of data (including hi-res illustrations, indexing and backgrounds), the total number of columns rises to 2^57, making the columns a mere 10^72 particles in length. Now, assuming that these particles are stored in some quantum matrix that can keep them 1 nanometer apart, the length of the array is therefore only 10^63m (10^47 light years), which is still rather large - it would take a hundred billion pentillion pentillion years to check an obscure rulepoint unless you were able to violate our current understanding of physics. When my bones have crumbled to dust, and the dust has been consumed by time, and the planet has been consumed by stellar expansion, and the star has died, and the stellar fragments have been recycled by natural processes ten pentillion pentillion times, I'll have a review for this product. If I can get my head around the system. (That is, if matter and vacuum are still intact at that point in time, and the Universe hasn't imploded a few dozen times.) I'm just making this up, by the way. I'm not checking my calculations or assumptions or even the mathematical theories that I'm using. And in case anyone's interested, a 13,000 page setting barely tops the human knee when stacked. Not really all that impressive... until you start thinking in terms of reality. [/QUOTE]
