Science/Technology: This ‘Superman Memory Crystal’ Can Store All The Knowledge On Earth For Billions Of Years (Video)
Okay, this science-fiction-turned-science-fact HAD to get invented if we are ever going to get the Star Trek style talking computer I know you nerds are out there working on. Without getting too too ‘sciency’ with the talk (you can follow the link below for that), the coin-sized glass disk technology displayed above is said to be capable of storing the history of mankind on it for billions upon billions of years. The tech’s creators – scientists at the University of Southampton’s Optoelectronics Research Centre – call it the “Superman memory crystal.â€
So that means the nerds working on this were likely inspired by those crystals Superman plugs into his Fortress Of Solitude… you know, the ones that allow him to interactively access the sum knowledge and history of his destroyed home world of Krypton.
I will say it again: If you want fantasy to become real-world, inspire the nerds. They will make that sh!t HAPPEN!
