Researchers at the University of Southampton in the UK successfully stored the entirety of the human genome sequence onto an indestructible 5D optical memory crystal no bigger than a penny. The indestructibility claims are no joke since the discs can withstand temperatures up to 1,000°C, cosmic radiation, and even direct impact forces of 10 tons per cm2.
If it’s anything like the similar optical data storage crystals, it’s write only.
They probably have no way to read these yet.
WORN: Write Once Read Never.
Soon to be improved as,
WORLD: Write Once Read at Later Date.
It gets a bit harder to market if they’re not sure if they wrote successfully:
Write Hopefully Once Read Eventually
How would they know they’ve written to it then?
Cool question, don’t know, have fun figuring it out.
I just remember that was the case last time.
