Scientists encode, retrieve 10,000 gigabytes stored on DNA molecules

This story is just part of a gradual disclosure of something sad about humanity...

You're all robots!

We're all living out a story simulation and no matter what you think you choose its always part of the program.

Your entire lives have been being recorded by your senses. Eventually your lives will be sifted through and judged. They will then determine what to do with your program. Delete or reincarnate!

That kind of storage capacity may even be capable of storing a person consciousness. Who knows where we are heading?

I wonder both if these googles of bits of space HAVE information written on them naturally...like are we a flash drive with 32 of 32 gigabytes full or are they partially full ie 32GB but we have 29GB of free space. Or is this totally empty space that ISNT meant to store file like information they think they CAN write info on. Read it twice but still confused as to what it is NOW. Second of all, could you scientists please repurpose half the space for hard drive space and half for RAM? Then we can download all human knowledge at birth AND conduct 8 trillion computations thoughts and actions all at once like Quicksilver but a psychological speed demon instead of a physical one.

The universe is far far far far far far times infinity tooo short for that to have happened. And people who believe it happened by "Chance" laugh at people who have logical thinking minds and understand the complexity of life. And how really impossible it could have come about by chance.

You're making the assumption that time is finite and that no other universes have existed. That assumption is wrong.

Makes me wonder if the "junk" DNA in us is actually data left by another intelligence just waiting to be decoded into its original message.

The problem is that DNA is very fragile and must use a dynamic repair mecanism to keep its integrity.

I hope they used interleaving and a very robust error-correcting code.
