Breakthrough In Data Storage Could Store Your Photos for 10000 Years

We’ve seen massive leaps in many different areas of tech over the past few years, and the next big revolution could be in data storage. In a recent paper, scientists at Microsoft revealed that they’ve found a way to store data for more than 10000 years by laser-etching pieces of glass. There are also a few other interesting ways that researchers are improving other storage technologies. Let’s take a look.

The Simulation Hypothesis Gets Scientific Backing

Do we live in a computer simulation? So far this question has been pursued mostly by philosophers because it was just too vague to make scientific sense of it. But this situation has changed now. Physicists are beginning to explore the consequences of the simulation hypothesis and a computer scientist has proposed a scientific framework to make sense of it. Let’s take a look.

Surprise! Milky Way Might Not Have a Black Hole After All

Using our observations and predictions based off of Einstein’s theory of general relativity, physicists are pretty sure that there’s a supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. But according to a new paper, that prediction might be incorrect – instead, physicists claim that there’s actually a dense core of dark matter at the center of the galaxy instead. Let’s see if that makes sense, and what it might mean for physics.
