@cleoabram: This piece of glass can store data for 10,000 years and is kept in a library managed by robots. A laser etches the data inside the glass, permanently encoding it. One piece can store the equivalent of 13 years worth of music or 3,500 movies. When your great-great-great-great grandkids are ready to read it, little robots go and fetch the right glass card and bring it to a microscope that scans the data and decodes. To find out when you might have a glass library of your own, follow along! #Science #Tech #data #laser #robot

NahMax :

Now what if it so slightly cracks

tiktokusernl :

3500 hours of music is like saying 39370 inches instead of 1 km.

James H. Hill :

#1 computers don't come with mechanical hard drives anymore, they're all solid-state drives now. #2 what you're showing us (this magical glass) are basically CD's 💿.

Philippe :

All roads lead to vinyl records

Laith Askar :

wtf?

Ömer :

why would you do it like this and not something like a vinyl or dvd?

IssaDavid :

Is the "bye sisters" saga there?

Craig now :

But glass is a liquid. How can I possibly keep the data intact?

Mamats :

If it requires an ai system to decode the information then wouldn’t that mean there are chances of mistakes?

pr☆ise :

what if the glass bracks

awkward_customer :

why would an ai system be needed for decoding?

Elezar :

And in 20 years when some newer tech that is even more reliable has even better data density, the tech needed to read these glass cards will stop getting made, and the 10,000 year longevity will become pointless

Phoenix 🔥 🪽 :

so a cd/dvd?

ALLINONE_255 :

Problem it's copy too slow

Aristaeus the Fabeelous Mewtwo :

makes me think of the scene from dr stone where the main characters Dad put info on glass records disks for him when he woke up from being turned to stone

Charles :

This is glimmer from Destiny

# wisdom boy :

Did you just age in seconds

marbella :

I have learn many things from your videos 👏👏👏

foriegn007 :

OK so basically it's a long term backup. It's like unwrittable dvd. One time use, purely for storage.

klesa :

but what if the glasses shattered...

Devin :

Would give me the same anxiety as scratching CDs and DVDs 🫠

mattdodd22 :

thats so cool. star trek depicted this exact technology for computers and the wrap core memory banks.

Valley :

the aging edit scared my for a second😭🫶🏽
