What a great guy he was.
The recently developed time crystal might give a new twist here. If a set of atoms generates a cycle of patterns without consuming any energy, -and if you pick good cycles-, then you can store information in 3D cubes without having to have wires go in. All information will come the surface in an endless loop.
with just 10 atoms you can encode 1024 numbers and encode 1024! = 5.4E2640 different cycles of length 1024. If you encode information in cycles (each different cycles represent a different stored number) then that gives you 8772 bits. Adding just 1 extra atom more than doubles the number of bits you can store. The same 100 million movies could be stores in 51 atom timecrystal! The main challenge is to figure out how to configure the cycle.
