What is the bekenstein limit?
-
The amount of information you can hold in a finite amount of space.
-
In physics, the Bekenstein bound is an upper limit on the entropy S, or information I, that can be contained within a given finite region of space which has a finite amount of energy—or conversely, the maximal amount of information required to perfectly describe a given physical system down to the quantum level.

2 RepliesI can explain how the Hive broke this limit: they have the ability to access a dimension that exists outside of time and space. That realm is not bound by our universes physical limits. They likely store the data there. Or SPACE MAGIC!

1 ReplyThe hive broken the limit. It's why they can go out the map and we hit a kill wall.

24 RepliesEdited by jmferris: 12/2/2014 9:02:03 PMThe nutshell version is, that no matter the storage medium, data takes up physical space. Take the platters from a hard drive today and twenty years ago, and the amount of data that can be written to them today is greater, because we are able to store the bits closer together physically. The write heads are more precise in today's hard drives, allowing us to basically cram more into the same space. The Bekenstein boundary is a computationally-derived limit that specifies the theoretical maximum amount of data that could stored in a physical space, and it is something that we will never approach with current technology, which is why it is often talked about in quantum computing circles, computer theory courses, and physics (as it is a physics theory, at its root). Even with today's laws of physics, you will only be able to (theoretically) get it down to the solid mass of atoms that you could compress into a space, and observing whether or not that atom is vibrating /spinning or not (your binary "on" and "off"). Don't keep up with that aspect of computing, so I am not sure how feasible any of it is, honestly. Where it gets a little more mind-bending is how you would "break" the limit. You would actually need to work around the known laws of physics, and one of those possible workarounds involve phase shifting atoms between parallel universes. So, basically, at any given time, parts of the physical media would exist in this universe, while other parts would be "stored" in a parallel universe, only to be shifted in and out, as needed - or on some sort of regular interval.

3 RepliesHere's an analogy. You have a plastic box with a hole on top Put a hose through the hole and make it airtight Fill it with water The water can only fill the box The Bekenstein limit is the area of that box and the information is the water.
-
3 RepliesLayman terms. It is impossible (in our reality) to have an infinite amount of data storage because data (even though digital) still physically takes up space. The Worlds grave in destiny is implying the hive have somehow made a collective data storage with infinite space. Ghost was just being fancy while saying "the hive are nerds with a lot of pr0n on their hard drive".

The amount of porn saved to a flash drive that exceeds the flash drives capacity - meaning excess terabites of hardcore Hive porn and your ghost was "analyzing" it while you were fending off hoards of hive that wanted to protect their precious cargo because its a gift for Oryx.

3 RepliesITS OVER 9000!!!!!

1 ReplyBasically the hive were storing all of earths information on a 100TB flash drive and while your ghost was trying to download it he got the "bee" error and was kicked to orbit. That's what your ghost was trying to tell you.

The real question is what songs do they have downloaded on that badass hard drive

1 ReplyIs this supposed to be an actual post about something, or you trying to be clever and badly recruit for your clan
-
Indeed

5 RepliesIt does not matter, because the stupid Hive broke it. This is why we can't have nice things.
-
The amount of data physically possible to be stored in a given space. Everyone else had a wordy answer. This one is simple.

3 RepliesI could tell you of the bekenstein limit....but i don’t have time to explain why I don’t have time to explain the bekenstein limit.

It's a number roughly equivalent to the number of times the craptarch hears the phrase ' oh FFS !' An hour.

10 RepliesIt's actually a real thing. From Wikipedia: [quote]In physics, the Bekenstein bound is an upper limit on the entropy S, or information I, that can be contained within a given finite region of space which has a finite amount of energy—or conversely, the maximum amount of information required to perfectly describe a given physical system down to the quantum level.[1] It implies that the information of a physical system, or the information necessary to perfectly describe that system, must be finite if the region of space and the energy is finite. In computer science, this implies that there is a maximum information-processing rate (Bremermann's limit) for a physical system that has a finite size and energy, and that a Turing machine with finite physical dimensions and unbounded memory is not physically possible.[/quote]

Information storage limit.
