It says that for a sufficiently large storage system, the information within will ultimately be limited by the surface area and not the volume. That you can indeed judge a book by its cover. For the sake of asymptotic analysis of galactic algorithms, one need only consider schemes for reading and writing information on the surface of a sphere. Where it comes to "real hardware," this sort of analysis is inapplicable.

- jychang 1y agoIt's obviously about latency. How do you not see the latency aspect of it? Latency is directly bound by the speed of light. A computer the size of the earth's orbit will be bound by latency of 8 minutes. A computer the size of 2x of earth's orbit will be bound by a latency of 16 minutes, but have 4x the maximum information storage capacity. The size of the book is directly proportional to the speed of light. Ever heard of ping? Does the universe you live in have infinite speed of light, and therefore you don't see how R contributes to latency?
