Unlimited storage, Energy Matrix?????

Hey, i was at this party the other day and this guy was trying to explain something to me. He said it was still in the very basic test stages but it would probably be out in 2010 or so. From what i was told it was a means of storage for a computer, that in theory had unlimited storage compacity. From what i understood it had no mechanical parts. Basicly it was data constintly being transferred in a circle and data gets dumped into it. He said it was an energy matrix.

Has anyone heard anything about this? I would really like to know more about it because it seem very interesting. Thanks.

i havent.sounds cool. but ive heard of type of HDD that uses mirrors or something and its sopose to be able to store very large amount of space.

oh its called holographic memory. http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2006/02/08/road_ahead_billgates/2.html bottom half of the article

seeing that i dont think what that guy said could happen in 4 years...

True, but then again, some guy in the 80's said that in the year 2080, they thought they would have computers reaching 2.0Ghz. So you never know what could happen from now to then.

ya but 4 years seems too soon to have unlimited storage. in only 10 years have we gone from MB to GB/lowTB, and from TB to infinity in just 4 isnt possible. maby in 20 years or 30 but not 4. we arent even close to having w/e is after TB unless we put 2,000 500gb HD's together...

First off, I'm skeptical of anything that would claim to be unlimited. As far as I know nothing is limitless; everything is finite. Second, the only thing that comes to mind from the limited description (since I've never heard of this before) is superconducting magnetic energy storage - basically running electricity in a loop with no resistance. But I could never imagine that would be practical for small scale home use.
 
well, to say the least, my back-door neighbor is esignnig some kind of holographic storage, so I would estimate that there would be hard drives with seemingly nearly infinite space by today's stardards. I
Also, I don't think everything is finite; I'm ready to guess that there is an infinite about of finite objects :D

Seemingly infinite isn't infinite. A few orders of magnitude isn't even close to inifinity - nothing is, that's the nature of infinity.

An infinite what about finite objects? Show me something physical that is infinite, then find a practical way to exploit it... I'd like to be wrong, but I don't think it can be done.

An example of what Yeti is pointing out (I'm backing him up):

If the universe is infinite in size, then how can it be expanding? So, one part of that argument is incorrect, either the universe is not infinite in size, or it isn't expanding..., can't be both.

Wow. I didnt think someone could get confused about this but here it goes.

The universe is not expanding. This was some idiot who said this because he is to lazy to fully explain it. All the galexys are expanding, not the universe. They are spreading aprt from eachtoher, and farther from the initial big bang. Since the big bang happened, things have not settled down. Particles are still being shoot off. So is galexys, planets, and everything that has a mass.

Now, infinite is completly possible for storage. It has just not been discovered yet. Like back in the ancient days, when they thought space was limited. Limited in a little house yes, but not in a universe. Same with a hdd. Space is limited there, but in something that we have not discovered yet, no. WE still lack this technology, but we have begun to scratch the surface.

um... there is no evidence of a big bang... as a matter of fact, evolution has no way to back up it's theory... as a matter of fact evolution does not pass as a theory! evolution is scientificly NOT a theory (this is argued by many scholars)

This is proven in the scientific method:

In the scientific method, a person starts by making observations. The person then develops a hypothesis to explain those observations or to answer a question. The person (often with the help of others) then designs experiments to test the hypothesis. After the hypothesis has been tested by a
significant amount of data and is consistent with all of it, then it becomes theory. After more testing with generations of data, the theory could become a scientific law.

evolution does not pass the qualifications of being a theory, and it obviously doesn't pass as being a scientific law...

therefore we cannot use the big bang as an example of how something works as the big bang is a extremely random idea started by a bunch of people that didn't want:mad: to beileive creationism:)

YEa i know that evolution doesnt exist. I was talking about the big bang theory. Also i am going off the dopler effect and how everything runs at a lower energy wave length. O well.

Back on topic.
 
now before this gets stupid and wanders off topic into religon... wasn't this about storage rather than religon?

anyway, yeti has knocked the nail on the head with regards to i the infinate space.... everything takes up space and therefore there cannot be infinate objects (i.e. electrons etc) in a finite space... the closest we get to that is a black hole thats not a nice place to be

Before you criticize someone, make sure you have the facts straight, or at least give a reference. Since you state that there was a big bang you imply that the universe is expanding. Instead of going on trying to explain, I'll say go here or anywhere else that explains the big bang.

Yeah, you're right. That's why I'm restraining myself from repsonding to those posts :P.

THeres also many differient views on the universe. Since no one has gone to the "end" of the universe no one can even begin to guess. That and we cant even come close to :seeing: the end of the universe.
