Transporter Pads Memory

---

Lets just say that the Enterprise has 10 transporter pads which can transport 10 people each. To operate all of those pads simultaneously would require AT LEAST:

4.8 x 10³¹ bytes

which is:

• TEN TRILLION TRILLION CD-ROMs (uncompressed)
• About 100 QUINTILLION times more RAM than is available in all computers on the Earth today.
• A string of 4Mb simms 113 MILLION LIGHT YEARS long.
• 500 QUADRILLION football fields covered 100 feet deep in 4 Mb simms
• 200 BILLION copies of all the Hollywood films ever made digitized at 30 fps into 1600x1200x24 bit images.
• 2½ copies of WINDOWS NT.
