One of the greatest achievements in human history has been realized in the world of science. A research team from the University of Southampton in the UK has developed 5D crystal memory technology that will allow data to be stored for billions of years. They even embedded the human genome into this 5D crystal memory technology. So what does this crystal mean and why is it so important?
Human genome stored in 5D crystal memory
The crystal memory in question has an almost “infinite” durability. It can withstand a force of 10 tons and withstand temperatures up to 1,000°C. Moreover, it does not deteriorate even under harsh conditions such as cosmic radiation. In other words, we can say that this crystal can store information by going “beyond time”.
So what does this crystal hold? Not only the human genome, but also basic information such as the universal elements (hydrogen, oxygen, carbon and nitrogen) and the four bases of DNA (adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine). These details may allow scientists to recreate humans and other living things in the future. It may sound like a science fiction movie, but it is completely real.
5D crystal memory is currently stored in a salt cave in the famous town of Hallstatt in Austria. Capable of storing 360 TB of data, the crystal was developed for the most secure and long-lasting storage of information. Researchers see this technology as a solution that could contribute to the survival of humanity.
In the future, perhaps this crystal will be the key to reviving endangered species or humanity. Science continues to advance without borders. What do you think about this? You can write your opinions in the comments section below.
