Sure, but if you took that 30k of data and dropped it on a planet just like earth it would still take 10k years or so for us to build civilizations as we know it again.
- ngcc_hk 6y agoNot 10k year as it needs to go through the million years scale - rna, hot, uv then dna ... with no oxygen to oxygen etc. Then million of years of evolving ... scale is a bit off.
- r-zip 6y agoHe's saying if you wiped out human civilization it would take O(10k) years to rebuild, because knowledge/culture isn't stored in the genes.
- qbasic_forever 6y agoYep exactly, but also that's a fun problem to think about how long it would take if we sent our DNA on an asteroid/space probe to another earth-like planet. :)
