- Paul-Craft 3y agoAKA "LOL memory," for "Little Old Lady" memory. :-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_rope_memory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_rope_memory Anybody know how much of a magnetic field it would take to disrupt core memory? It's kinda curious we used it for space probes and spacecraft back then, given how little we knew, and still know, about conditions in deep space.
- ethbr1 3y agoI'd assume you'd alter it with an induced electrical current on the control lines far more easily than a magnetic field, given how quickly magnetic fields decay with distance.
