which is interesting because like there's this, have you ever heard of this dude named Rolf Landauer?

He has this theory that if you weighed a hard drive after you put data on it, it would weigh more than when it was empty, right?

So, and his theory was that like every single hard drive server farm around the world right now, if you weighed it, if we had measuring equipment that was sensitive enough,

And you could find the difference.

He thinks that all the data stored would be like a kilogram or less right now.

But the rate of data increase that we accumulate each year right now is like 25 percent, not equating for exponential growth, the technological singularity and how that's going to ramp up.

So somebody did the math there and said it was it was Jason Georgiani who did the math on this.

And he he said, if you just keep the rate flat at 25 percent per year of data increase across the across the globe,

In 340 years, we are going to have the mass of the moon on the surface of the earth in data stored on hard drives.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So like, and the way he, the way he like lays this all out, I'll try to do my best is that the, if you look at the laws of thermodynamics, like the two laws, one, that energy can never be created or destroyed.

And the other one, like the,

Entropy always increases over time.

Entropy meaning disorder.

It never goes down over time.

Like hence the heat death of the universe will eventually happen.

And so E equals MC squared energy and mass are interconvertible.

And then there was this other dude, Claude Shannon, who came up with the theory that data transmission with binary bits, ones and zeros.

So if computers are bound by – tell me if I'm losing you.
