Look at it like this....think outside of conventional thinking:
"The magnificence and magnitude of the universe is incomprehensible. Just as amazing, is the power of our gift from heaven, our brain. Dr. Ralph
Merkle of Xerox Palo Alto Research Center estimates the human brain stores about 10 to the 18th power bits of information and processes these bits at
about 10 to the 16th power bits per second (of course, these numbers are not exact, similar to our understanding of the universe, but are close to
within a power of 10 or so). Your memory is just one small database that you can access at the speed of light, and your intelligence is derived from
the ability to access and retrieve data from this prodigious database. Another big thought: astronomers estimate that there are as many as 100
billion galaxies, and, based on our own Milkyway galaxy, each galaxy is estimated to contain more than 200 billion stars, resulting in the Universe
that is populated by as 20 billion trillion stars. At the same time, if the rate of processing power and the amount of data it generates continues to
progress at its current rate of doubling every 18 months (Moore’s law), we can anticipate data collection volumes to grow to a yottabyte (2 to the
80th power) in volume by the year 2015. This is two hundred times more bytes of data than all the stars in the Universe. Where the Greeks were
“thinking big” to conceive of libraries containing treasures of knowledge, we must begin “thinking big” to conceive of how we can exploit all
the knowledge that we have accumulated over the millenium and that now is multiplying at exponential rates with today’s technology explosion."
NGC2736, this is what I meant by the universe holding secrets.
read this link I was not
indicating that space exploration holds the secrets. Think of the Universe like a uncomprehensible hardrive. You really have to open your mind for
this one think way outside the box.
