i was thinking about this for a long time, because i saw on my science book that DNA was indeed carrying information which means it can be manipulated to carry data of 1's and 0's and be interpreted back into letters and algorithms and it will be compact and small, but theres one problem, how do we write in them if we want them to write data or delete the data? how do we format it? these questions can be a hassle to solve by those scientist so this technology would take a long time to build, anyways nice video, and keep up the good work!

is anyone thinking what if ALIENS left data for us in trees. and we didn't decrypte them yet! or maybe gov know about that and working on it in TOP-SECRET. . seems like no. none did that.

If we go back to Stone age we will not be able to use DNA information so we will miss out the technology that is necessary for using those info that have been saved in the DNA!

But how do we know DNA in our backyard is not actually already an encrypted message or a ton of info for us to translate? maybe a warning or an invitation. who knows

I don't care about most of this I will care if it can hold all of my Steam library without fear of running out of space so can do other thing's on it

Holy sht this must be the allegory of the Eden Garden's Tree of Knowledge. I have no idea that we can use organic material to store inorganic information inside it

200'000 years is no big deal. 5D Optical data storing on crystals could last 13 billion years and store as much as 360 terabytes on a disc.

Their are definitely people out there trying to decipher the genes of existing flora to read potential data stored by ancient civs.
