So a yottabyte of storage would be as big as multiple states and would cost 100 trillion dollars, almost twice the gross domestic product of the world.
A computer with 1000 yottabytes of storage could contain HD video footage of every second in the lives of every human who ever existed.
Now imagine some time in the future humans created a computer with a yottabyte of storage and a yottabyte of RAM, what could this computer calculate? What would it be capable of? Would it be able to, say, create a simulation of every molecule in a area to figure out the exact probabilities of different outcomes? Would it be able to generate a map of the universe and figure out exactly where all the hospitable planets are?
