Re:Ask HN: What is the size of human memory? by seiji on Friday December 14, 2012 @08:33PM (#4924255)
Memories aren't discrete entities. Your brain isn't linearly addressable like our computer abstractions. At best, the answer is combinational in the number of synaptic connections in certain parts of the brain. At worst, the answer is essentially "unlimited."

How do you quantify the storage size of petrichor? A bad kiss? A good morning after? Episodic memory is a bitch.
