dang u right, but it's 6gb not 3gb. 3 billion base pairs of DNA is is 6gb. (base-pairs are base-4, so it's just double to convert to base 2). welp there it is. wait is it gigs or terrabytes.... yea it's gigs. less than a call of duty day 1 patch. --- --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

ok so google: "The body consists of about 210^25 molecules. That's a 2 with 25 zeros. More than 99 % of them are water!" every molecule is going to need, at minimum, like....a kilobyte of space and that's on the low end. let's use a kilobyte cause it'll be easy. that's 20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes of data counting commas from the right-to-left: kilo mega giga terra peta exabyte zettabyte vottabyte the next level is literally unnamed, but the suggestion is hellabyte. we are looking at hellabytes of data, MINIMUM, required for teleportation. --- --- ...

This just seems like semantics. If our brains contain pointers to incalculable data, i.e. in theory our brains allow us to "access" incalculable data, then what's the distinction between that and just saying our brains store incalculable data? I've read a few studies that say the human brain capacity for storing information is essentially limitless. Not trying to be a contrarian. I'm just not sure what you mean. ... Copied to Clipboard!

TULPAMANCER posted... And yet our brains are capable of storing incalculable dataYeah, that's the crazy thing about humans in particular. Where along the way did our brains suddenly become capable of solving incredibly complex problems? We don't just use what's available, we create what isn't. We're literally growing meat in laboratories nowadays. How did that happen? Why are we the only species on earth that's even close to that level of intelligence? The whole idea is fascinating to me, and it puts such a huge question mark on everything that has happened in the history of the universe. --- I write Naruto Fanfiction.

If our brains contain pointers to incalculable data, i.e. in theory our brains allow us to "access" incalculable data, then what's the distinction between that and just saying our brains store incalculable data? The storage capacity of the brain is obviously not limitless. There are finite numbers which if you wrote down 100 digits on every single subatomic particle in the universe you still wouldn't have enough space to write it down. But I can know "about" that number and I can tell you how to find it. You can't know it, but you can reference it and use it in discussions. That's the difference. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://i.imgur.com/dQgC4kv.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'd argue the most significant human achievement.I think it's a step more broad than that. Not just language, but artistic expression in general.
