you are probably right... but what if it was like IPV6 where there are so many IPs that they should never run out... the unlimited storage dream.

Unlike IP addresses where you get exponentially more of them per unit cost (i.e size), storage space costs 1 bit per bit.

I don't think that you understand what I said... I don't mean that IP addresses have anything to do with physical space. I only mean it in the sense that IPv6 supposedly solved a problem and we need the same thing to happen to storage space.

He understands perfectly, it's theoretically impossible to get infinite storage in finite amounts of matter.

What I was thinking is that maybe we can use the 4th or maybe 5th dimension to hide all that matter. /s
